We found the factors 727,412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 727,412 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,608
2 | 304, 608 |
2 | 152, 304 |
2 | 76, 152 |
2 | 38, 76 |
19 | 19, 38 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 19 x 1 x 2 = 608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 727/304,412/608 is 1/608
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 304,608 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,608) = 304
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,608) x common factors =304 x 1 = 304
LCM(304,608) = ( 304 × 608 ) / 304
LCM(304,608) = 184832 / 304
LCM(304,608) = 608
