So the greatest common factor 702,2044 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119917
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/119917
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 702/259,2044/463 is 2/119917
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 259,463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,463) = ( 259 × 463 ) / 1
LCM(259,463) = 119917 / 1
LCM(259,463) = 119917
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
