Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 854,686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 854,686 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 529,256
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/135424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 854/529,686/256 is 14/135424
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 529,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(529,256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(529,256) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(529,256) = ( 529 × 256 ) / 1
LCM(529,256) = 135424 / 1
LCM(529,256) = 135424
