Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 477,8978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 477,8978 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 322,812
2 | 322, 812 |
7 | 161, 406 |
23, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 23 x 58 = 18676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 477/322,8978/812 is 1/18676
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 322,812 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(322,812) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(322,812) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(322,812) = ( 322 × 812 ) / 14
LCM(322,812) = 261464 / 14
LCM(322,812) = 18676
