So the greatest common factor 286,2226 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 191401
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/191401
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 286/259,2226/739 is 2/191401
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 259,739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,739) = ( 259 × 739 ) / 1
LCM(259,739) = 191401 / 1
LCM(259,739) = 191401
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
