1,2,23,46,151,302,3473,6946
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 778,6946 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 778,6946 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80433
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/80433
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 778/331,6946/243 is 2/80433
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 331,243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,243) = ( 331 × 243 ) / 1
LCM(331,243) = 80433 / 1
LCM(331,243) = 80433
