Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 850,1264 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 850,1264 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 274214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/274214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/334,1264/821 is 2/274214
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 334,821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(334,821) = ( 334 × 821 ) / 1
LCM(334,821) = 274214 / 1
LCM(334,821) = 274214
