So the greatest common factor 984,771 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 586,286
2 | 586, 286 |
293, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 293 x 143 = 83798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/83798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 984/586,771/286 is 3/83798
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 586,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(586,286) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(586,286) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(586,286) = ( 586 × 286 ) / 2
LCM(586,286) = 167596 / 2
LCM(586,286) = 83798
