We found the factors 422,5950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 422,5950 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 704,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 252736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/252736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 422/704,5950/359 is 2/252736
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 704,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(704,359) = ( 704 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(704,359) = 252736 / 1
LCM(704,359) = 252736
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
