Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 634,446 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 634,446 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148379
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/148379
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 634/287,446/517 is 2/148379
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 287,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,517) = ( 287 × 517 ) / 1
LCM(287,517) = 148379 / 1
LCM(287,517) = 148379
