Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 678,878 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 678,878 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,476
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 128996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/128996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 678/271,878/476 is 2/128996
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 271,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,476) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,476) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,476) = ( 271 × 476 ) / 1
LCM(271,476) = 128996 / 1
LCM(271,476) = 128996
