List of positive integer factors of 717 that divides 717 without a remainder.
1,3,239,717
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 470,717 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 470,717 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 834,688
2 | 834, 688 |
417, 344 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 417 x 344 = 286896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/286896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 470/834,717/688 is 1/286896
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 834,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(834,688) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(834,688) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(834,688) = ( 834 × 688 ) / 2
LCM(834,688) = 573792 / 2
LCM(834,688) = 286896
