:1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 714,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 714,238 is 238.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,600
2 | 738, 600 |
3 | 369, 300 |
123, 100 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 123 x 100 = 73800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 238/73800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 714/738,238/600 is 238/73800
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 738,600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,600) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,600) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(738,600) = ( 738 × 600 ) / 6
LCM(738,600) = 442800 / 6
LCM(738,600) = 73800
