Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 894,745 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 894,745 is 149.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,294
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147882
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 149/147882
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 894/503,745/294 is 149/147882
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 503,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,294) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,294) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,294) = ( 503 × 294 ) / 1
LCM(503,294) = 147882 / 1
LCM(503,294) = 147882
