Now, list down the factors of 844
:1,2,4,211,422,844
Now, list down the factors of 467
:1,467
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 844,467 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 844,467 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 431,742
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 319802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/319802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 844/431,467/742 is 1/319802
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 431,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(431,742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(431,742) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(431,742) = ( 431 × 742 ) / 1
LCM(431,742) = 319802 / 1
LCM(431,742) = 319802
