Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 658,321 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 658,321 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,500
| 2 | 978, 500 |
| 489, 250 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 489 x 250 = 244500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/244500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 658/978,321/500 is 1/244500
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 978,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,500) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,500) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(978,500) = ( 978 × 500 ) / 2
LCM(978,500) = 489000 / 2
LCM(978,500) = 244500
