Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 589,3306 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 589,3306 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 494,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/129922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 589/494,3306/263 is 19/129922
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 494,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(494,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(494,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(494,263) = ( 494 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(494,263) = 129922 / 1
LCM(494,263) = 129922
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
