Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 365,640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 365,640 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 796,146
2 | 796, 146 |
398, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 398 x 73 = 58108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/58108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 365/796,640/146 is 5/58108
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 796,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(796,146) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(796,146) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(796,146) = ( 796 × 146 ) / 2
LCM(796,146) = 116216 / 2
LCM(796,146) = 58108
