Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 292,8500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 292,8500 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 835,786
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 656310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/656310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 292/835,8500/786 is 4/656310
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 835,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(835,786) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(835,786) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(835,786) = ( 835 × 786 ) / 1
LCM(835,786) = 656310 / 1
LCM(835,786) = 656310
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
