Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 792,262 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 792,262 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 578,954
| 2 | 578, 954 |
| 289, 477 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 289 x 477 = 275706
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/275706
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 792/578,262/954 is 2/275706
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 578,954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,954) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,954) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(578,954) = ( 578 × 954 ) / 2
LCM(578,954) = 551412 / 2
LCM(578,954) = 275706
