Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 661,385 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 661,385 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 884,158
2 | 884, 158 |
442, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 442 x 79 = 69836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/69836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 661/884,385/158 is 1/69836
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 884,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(884,158) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(884,158) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(884,158) = ( 884 × 158 ) / 2
LCM(884,158) = 139672 / 2
LCM(884,158) = 69836
