Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 334,1587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 334,1587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 698,368
2 | 698, 368 |
349, 184 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 349 x 184 = 128432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/128432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 334/698,1587/368 is 1/128432
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 698,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(698,368) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(698,368) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(698,368) = ( 698 × 368 ) / 2
LCM(698,368) = 256864 / 2
LCM(698,368) = 128432
