1,7,1229,8603
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 301,8603 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 301,8603 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 386,754
2 | 386, 754 |
193, 377 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 193 x 377 = 145522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/145522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 301/386,8603/754 is 7/145522
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 386,754 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(386,754) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(386,754) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(386,754) = ( 386 × 754 ) / 2
LCM(386,754) = 291044 / 2
LCM(386,754) = 145522
