1,2,29,58,61,122,1769,3538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 694,3538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 694,3538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,478
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 465094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/465094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 694/973,3538/478 is 2/465094
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 973,478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,478) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,478) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,478) = ( 973 × 478 ) / 1
LCM(973,478) = 465094 / 1
LCM(973,478) = 465094
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
