1,2,3,4,6,12,83,166,249,332,498,996
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 496,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 496,996 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,6919
17 | 34, 6919 |
2, 407 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 2 x 407 = 13838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/13838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 496/34,996/6919 is 4/13838
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 34,6919 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,6919) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,6919) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(34,6919) = ( 34 × 6919 ) / 17
LCM(34,6919) = 235246 / 17
LCM(34,6919) = 13838
