We found the factors 582,291 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 582,291 is 291.
Lets's calculate LCM of 820,996
2 | 820, 996 |
2 | 410, 498 |
205, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 205 x 249 = 204180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 291/204180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 582/820,291/996 is 291/204180
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 820,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(820,996) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(820,996) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(820,996) = ( 820 × 996 ) / 4
LCM(820,996) = 816720 / 4
LCM(820,996) = 204180
