:1,2,397,794
Now, list down the factors of 258
:1,2,3,6,43,86,129,258
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 794,258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 794,258 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,464
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 153584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/153584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 794/331,258/464 is 2/153584
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 331,464 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,464) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,464) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,464) = ( 331 × 464 ) / 1
LCM(331,464) = 153584 / 1
LCM(331,464) = 153584
