Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2406,3456 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2406,3456 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 839,474
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 397686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/397686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2406/839,3456/474 is 6/397686
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 839,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(839,474) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(839,474) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(839,474) = ( 839 × 474 ) / 1
LCM(839,474) = 397686 / 1
LCM(839,474) = 397686
