Now, list down the factors of 292
:1,2,4,73,146,292
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 794,292 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 794,292 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 449,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 436877
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/436877
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 794/449,292/973 is 2/436877
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 449,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,973) = ( 449 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(449,973) = 436877 / 1
LCM(449,973) = 436877
