Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 976,998 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 976,998 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 210639
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/210639
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/491,998/429 is 2/210639
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 491,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,429) = ( 491 × 429 ) / 1
LCM(491,429) = 210639 / 1
LCM(491,429) = 210639
