Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 744,415 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 744,415 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,598
2 | 40, 598 |
20, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 299 = 11960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 744/40,415/598 is 1/11960
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 40,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(40,598) = ( 40 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(40,598) = 23920 / 2
LCM(40,598) = 11960
