Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 743,478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 743,478 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,586
2 | 84, 586 |
42, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 42 x 293 = 24612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 743/84,478/586 is 1/24612
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 84,586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,586) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,586) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(84,586) = ( 84 × 586 ) / 2
LCM(84,586) = 49224 / 2
LCM(84,586) = 24612
