Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 488,7296 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 488,7296 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 647,746
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 482662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/482662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 488/647,7296/746 is 8/482662
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 647,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(647,746) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(647,746) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(647,746) = ( 647 × 746 ) / 1
LCM(647,746) = 482662 / 1
LCM(647,746) = 482662
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
