We found the factors 688,6734 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 688,6734 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,624
2 | 986, 624 |
493, 312 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 493 x 312 = 307632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/307632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 688/986,6734/624 is 2/307632
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 986,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,624) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,624) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(986,624) = ( 986 × 624 ) / 2
LCM(986,624) = 615264 / 2
LCM(986,624) = 307632
