:1,281
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 812,281 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 812,281 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 338,402
2 | 338, 402 |
169, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 169 x 201 = 67938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 812/338,281/402 is 1/67938
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 338,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(338,402) = ( 338 × 402 ) / 2
LCM(338,402) = 135876 / 2
LCM(338,402) = 67938
