Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 516,7488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 516,7488 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 794,603
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 478782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/478782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/794,7488/603 is 12/478782
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 794,603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(794,603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(794,603) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(794,603) = ( 794 × 603 ) / 1
LCM(794,603) = 478782 / 1
LCM(794,603) = 478782
