Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 950,764 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 950,764 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 938,550
2 | 938, 550 |
469, 275 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 469 x 275 = 257950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/257950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/938,764/550 is 2/257950
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 938,550 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(938,550) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(938,550) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(938,550) = ( 938 × 550 ) / 2
LCM(938,550) = 515900 / 2
LCM(938,550) = 257950
