1,2,3,6,107,214,321,642
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 579,642 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 579,642 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,514
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 503206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/503206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 579/979,642/514 is 3/503206
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 979,514 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,514) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,514) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,514) = ( 979 × 514 ) / 1
LCM(979,514) = 503206 / 1
LCM(979,514) = 503206
