∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 706
:1,2,353,706
Now, list down the factors of 218
:1,2,109,218
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 706,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 706,218 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 871,497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 432887
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/432887
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 706/871,218/497 is 2/432887
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 871,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,497) = ( 871 × 497 ) / 1
LCM(871,497) = 432887 / 1
LCM(871,497) = 432887
