Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6401,1842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6401,1842 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 344,626
2 | 344, 626 |
172, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 172 x 313 = 107672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/107672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6401/344,1842/626 is 1/107672
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 344,626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(344,626) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(344,626) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(344,626) = ( 344 × 626 ) / 2
LCM(344,626) = 215344 / 2
LCM(344,626) = 107672
