Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 843,268 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 843,268 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 434,512
2 | 434, 512 |
217, 256 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 217 x 256 = 111104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 843/434,268/512 is 1/111104
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 434,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(434,512) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(434,512) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(434,512) = ( 434 × 512 ) / 2
LCM(434,512) = 222208 / 2
LCM(434,512) = 111104
