1,2,457,914
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 438,914 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 438,914 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 697,738
41 | 697, 738 |
17, 18 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 41 x 17 x 18 = 12546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/12546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 438/697,914/738 is 2/12546
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 697,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(697,738) = 41
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(697,738) x common factors =41 x 1 = 41
LCM(697,738) = ( 697 × 738 ) / 41
LCM(697,738) = 514386 / 41
LCM(697,738) = 12546
