:1,739
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 498,739 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 498,739 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,288
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 498/29,739/288 is 1/8352
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 29,288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,288) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,288) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,288) = ( 29 × 288 ) / 1
LCM(29,288) = 8352 / 1
LCM(29,288) = 8352
