Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 918,459 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 918,459 is 459.
Lets's calculate LCM of 994,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 315098
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 459/315098
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/994,459/317 is 459/315098
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 994,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(994,317) = ( 994 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(994,317) = 315098 / 1
LCM(994,317) = 315098
