Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4247,1426 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4247,1426 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 764,478
2 | 764, 478 |
382, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 382 x 239 = 182596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/182596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4247/764,1426/478 is 31/182596
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 764,478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,478) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(764,478) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(764,478) = ( 764 × 478 ) / 2
LCM(764,478) = 365192 / 2
LCM(764,478) = 182596
