1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,556 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1714,6468
2 | 1714, 6468 |
857, 3234 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 857 x 3234 = 5543076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5543076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/1714,556/6468 is 1/5543076
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 1714,6468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1714,6468) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1714,6468) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(1714,6468) = ( 1714 × 6468 ) / 2
LCM(1714,6468) = 11086152 / 2
LCM(1714,6468) = 5543076
