Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 796,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 796,556 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 314,320
2 | 314, 320 |
157, 160 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 157 x 160 = 50240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/50240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 796/314,556/320 is 4/50240
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 314,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(314,320) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(314,320) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(314,320) = ( 314 × 320 ) / 2
LCM(314,320) = 100480 / 2
LCM(314,320) = 50240
