Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 714,519 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 714,519 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 394,972
2 | 394, 972 |
197, 486 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 486 = 191484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/191484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 714/394,519/972 is 3/191484
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 394,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,972) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,972) = ( 394 × 972 ) / 2
LCM(394,972) = 382968 / 2
LCM(394,972) = 191484
