∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 346
List of positive integer factors of 346 that divides 346 without a remainder.
1,2,173,346
Factors of 1002
List of positive integer factors of 1002 that divides 1002 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,167,334,501,1002
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 346,1002 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 346,1002 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 785,355
5 | 785, 355 |
157, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 157 x 71 = 55735
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/55735
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 346/785,1002/355 is 2/55735
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 785,355 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,355) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,355) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(785,355) = ( 785 × 355 ) / 5
LCM(785,355) = 278675 / 5
LCM(785,355) = 55735
