We found the factors 698,1231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 698,1231 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 506,558
2 | 506, 558 |
253, 279 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 253 x 279 = 141174
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/141174
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 698/506,1231/558 is 1/141174
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 506,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,558) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(506,558) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(506,558) = ( 506 × 558 ) / 2
LCM(506,558) = 282348 / 2
LCM(506,558) = 141174
