So the greatest common factor 599,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 646,284
2 | 646, 284 |
323, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 323 x 142 = 91732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/91732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 599/646,172/284 is 1/91732
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 646,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(646,284) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(646,284) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(646,284) = ( 646 × 284 ) / 2
LCM(646,284) = 183464 / 2
LCM(646,284) = 91732
