Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2998,6768 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2998,6768 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 274,894
2 | 274, 894 |
137, 447 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 137 x 447 = 122478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/122478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2998/274,6768/894 is 2/122478
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 274,894 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,894) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,894) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(274,894) = ( 274 × 894 ) / 2
LCM(274,894) = 244956 / 2
LCM(274,894) = 122478
