Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 737,292 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 737,292 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 458,638
2 | 458, 638 |
229, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 229 x 319 = 146102
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/146102
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 737/458,292/638 is 1/146102
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 458,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(458,638) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(458,638) = ( 458 × 638 ) / 2
LCM(458,638) = 292204 / 2
LCM(458,638) = 146102
