1,2,1627,3254
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 737,3254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 737,3254 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 388,594
2 | 388, 594 |
194, 297 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 194 x 297 = 115236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/115236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 737/388,3254/594 is 1/115236
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 388,594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,594) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(388,594) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(388,594) = ( 388 × 594 ) / 2
LCM(388,594) = 230472 / 2
LCM(388,594) = 115236
