Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 961,404 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 961,404 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,488
| 2 | 278, 488 |
| 139, 244 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 139 x 244 = 67832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 961/278,404/488 is 1/67832
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 278,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,488) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,488) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(278,488) = ( 278 × 488 ) / 2
LCM(278,488) = 135664 / 2
LCM(278,488) = 67832
