We found the factors 292,2574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 292,2574 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 340,779
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 264860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/264860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 292/340,2574/779 is 2/264860
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 340,779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(340,779) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(340,779) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(340,779) = ( 340 × 779 ) / 1
LCM(340,779) = 264860 / 1
LCM(340,779) = 264860
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
