Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 781,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 781,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,520
2 | 334, 520 |
167, 260 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 260 = 86840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 781/334,159/520 is 1/86840
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 334,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,520) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,520) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,520) = ( 334 × 520 ) / 2
LCM(334,520) = 173680 / 2
LCM(334,520) = 86840
