Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 729,236 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 729,236 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,604
2 | 242, 604 |
121, 302 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 302 = 73084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 729/242,236/604 is 1/73084
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 242,604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,604) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,604) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,604) = ( 242 × 604 ) / 2
LCM(242,604) = 146168 / 2
LCM(242,604) = 73084
