:1,2,7,14,19,38,133,266
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 722,266 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 722,266 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 858,333
3 | 858, 333 |
286, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 286 x 111 = 95238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/95238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 722/858,266/333 is 38/95238
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 858,333 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(858,333) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(858,333) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(858,333) = ( 858 × 333 ) / 3
LCM(858,333) = 285714 / 3
LCM(858,333) = 95238
