1,2,3,6,67,134,201,402
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 679,402 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 679,402 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 746,298
2 | 746, 298 |
373, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 373 x 149 = 111154
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111154
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 679/746,402/298 is 1/111154
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 746,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,298) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,298) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(746,298) = ( 746 × 298 ) / 2
LCM(746,298) = 222308 / 2
LCM(746,298) = 111154
