Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 637,439 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 637,439 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 349,494
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/172406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 637/349,439/494 is 1/172406
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 349,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(349,494) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(349,494) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(349,494) = ( 349 × 494 ) / 1
LCM(349,494) = 172406 / 1
LCM(349,494) = 172406
