Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 451,6989 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 451,6989 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,596
2 | 986, 596 |
493, 298 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 493 x 298 = 293828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/293828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 451/986,6989/596 is 1/293828
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 986,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,596) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,596) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(986,596) = ( 986 × 596 ) / 2
LCM(986,596) = 587656 / 2
LCM(986,596) = 293828
