1,2,1777,3554
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 574,3554 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 574,3554 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 338,849
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 286962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/286962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 574/338,3554/849 is 2/286962
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 338,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,849) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(338,849) = ( 338 × 849 ) / 1
LCM(338,849) = 286962 / 1
LCM(338,849) = 286962
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
