1,2,4,73,146,292
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 728,292 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 728,292 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 689,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108173
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/108173
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 728/689,292/157 is 4/108173
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 689,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(689,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(689,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(689,157) = ( 689 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(689,157) = 108173 / 1
LCM(689,157) = 108173
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
