Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 502,8947 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 502,8947 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 944,370
2 | 944, 370 |
472, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 472 x 185 = 174640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/174640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/944,8947/370 is 1/174640
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 944,370 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(944,370) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(944,370) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(944,370) = ( 944 × 370 ) / 2
LCM(944,370) = 349280 / 2
LCM(944,370) = 174640
