Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 708,386 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 708,386 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,860
2 | 262, 860 |
131, 430 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 131 x 430 = 112660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/112660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/262,386/860 is 2/112660
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 262,860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,860) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,860) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(262,860) = ( 262 × 860 ) / 2
LCM(262,860) = 225320 / 2
LCM(262,860) = 112660
