Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 292,3139 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 292,3139 is 73.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,856
2 | 986, 856 |
493, 428 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 493 x 428 = 422008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 73/422008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 292/986,3139/856 is 73/422008
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 986,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,856) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,856) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(986,856) = ( 986 × 856 ) / 2
LCM(986,856) = 844016 / 2
LCM(986,856) = 422008
