Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 418,494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 418,494 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,1698
3 | 99, 1698 |
33, 566 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 33 x 566 = 56034
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/56034
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 418/99,494/1698 is 38/56034
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 99,1698 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,1698) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,1698) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(99,1698) = ( 99 × 1698 ) / 3
LCM(99,1698) = 168102 / 3
LCM(99,1698) = 56034
