Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 418,196 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 418,196 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 314,878
2 | 314, 878 |
157, 439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 157 x 439 = 137846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/137846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 418/314,196/878 is 2/137846
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 314,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(314,878) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(314,878) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(314,878) = ( 314 × 878 ) / 2
LCM(314,878) = 275692 / 2
LCM(314,878) = 137846
