Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 854,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 854,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 202,424
2 | 202, 424 |
101, 212 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 101 x 212 = 42824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 854/202,731/424 is 1/42824
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 202,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(202,424) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(202,424) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(202,424) = ( 202 × 424 ) / 2
LCM(202,424) = 85648 / 2
LCM(202,424) = 42824
