Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 533,663 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 533,663 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 726,844
2 | 726, 844 |
363, 422 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 363 x 422 = 306372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/306372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 533/726,663/844 is 13/306372
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 726,844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,844) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,844) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(726,844) = ( 726 × 844 ) / 2
LCM(726,844) = 612744 / 2
LCM(726,844) = 306372
