Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 290,494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 290,494 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 394,562
2 | 394, 562 |
197, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 281 = 110714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/110714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/394,494/562 is 2/110714
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 394,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,562) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,562) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,562) = ( 394 × 562 ) / 2
LCM(394,562) = 221428 / 2
LCM(394,562) = 110714
