1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,49,98,147,294
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 608,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 608,294 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 702254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/702254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 608/974,294/721 is 2/702254
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 974,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(974,721) = ( 974 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(974,721) = 702254 / 1
LCM(974,721) = 702254
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
