1,2,17,34,269,538,4573,9146
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 391,9146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 391,9146 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 639,446
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 284994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/284994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/639,9146/446 is 17/284994
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 639,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(639,446) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(639,446) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(639,446) = ( 639 × 446 ) / 1
LCM(639,446) = 284994 / 1
LCM(639,446) = 284994
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
