Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 728,938 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 728,938 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,466
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/136538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 728/293,938/466 is 14/136538
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 293,466 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,466) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,466) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,466) = ( 293 × 466 ) / 1
LCM(293,466) = 136538 / 1
LCM(293,466) = 136538
