We found the factors 859,303 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 859,303 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 768,518
2 | 768, 518 |
384, 259 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 384 x 259 = 198912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/198912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 859/768,303/518 is 1/198912
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 768,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(768,518) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(768,518) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(768,518) = ( 768 × 518 ) / 2
LCM(768,518) = 397824 / 2
LCM(768,518) = 198912
