Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 914,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 914,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 850,996
2 | 850, 996 |
425, 498 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 425 x 498 = 423300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/423300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 914/850,971/996 is 1/423300
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 850,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(850,996) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(850,996) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(850,996) = ( 850 × 996 ) / 2
LCM(850,996) = 846600 / 2
LCM(850,996) = 423300
