Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 322,288 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 322,288 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 990,608
2 | 990, 608 |
495, 304 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 495 x 304 = 300960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/300960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/990,288/608 is 2/300960
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 990,608 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(990,608) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(990,608) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(990,608) = ( 990 × 608 ) / 2
LCM(990,608) = 601920 / 2
LCM(990,608) = 300960
