Factors of 394
List of positive integer factors of 394 that divides 394 without a remainder.
1,2,197,394
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 784,394 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 784,394 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 950,711
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 675450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/675450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 784/950,394/711 is 2/675450
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 950,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(950,711) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(950,711) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(950,711) = ( 950 × 711 ) / 1
LCM(950,711) = 675450 / 1
LCM(950,711) = 675450
