1,1733
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6409,1733 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6409,1733 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 398,238
2 | 398, 238 |
199, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 199 x 119 = 47362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6409/398,1733/238 is 1/47362
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 398,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(398,238) = ( 398 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(398,238) = 94724 / 2
LCM(398,238) = 47362
