Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 734,831 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 734,831 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,126
2 | 978, 126 |
3 | 489, 63 |
163, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 163 x 21 = 20538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 734/978,831/126 is 1/20538
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 978,126 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,126) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,126) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(978,126) = ( 978 × 126 ) / 6
LCM(978,126) = 123228 / 6
LCM(978,126) = 20538
