Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 866,802 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 866,802 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,978
2 | 64, 978 |
32, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 32 x 489 = 31296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/64,802/978 is 2/31296
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 64,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(64,978) = ( 64 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(64,978) = 62592 / 2
LCM(64,978) = 31296
