Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 995,249 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 995,249 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 888,554
2 | 888, 554 |
444, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 444 x 277 = 245976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/245976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 995/888,249/554 is 1/245976
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 888,554 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,554) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,554) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(888,554) = ( 888 × 554 ) / 2
LCM(888,554) = 491952 / 2
LCM(888,554) = 245976
