1,41,107,4387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 280,4387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 280,4387 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 762,238
2 | 762, 238 |
381, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 381 x 119 = 90678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/90678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/762,4387/238 is 1/90678
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 762,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(762,238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(762,238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(762,238) = ( 762 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(762,238) = 181356 / 2
LCM(762,238) = 90678
