Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 290,7863 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 290,7863 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 398,842
2 | 398, 842 |
199, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 199 x 421 = 167558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/167558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/398,7863/842 is 1/167558
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 398,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(398,842) = ( 398 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(398,842) = 335116 / 2
LCM(398,842) = 167558
