1,3,7,21,281,843,1967,5901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 833,5901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 833,5901 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 346,478
2 | 346, 478 |
173, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 173 x 239 = 82694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/82694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 833/346,5901/478 is 7/82694
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 346,478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(346,478) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(346,478) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(346,478) = ( 346 × 478 ) / 2
LCM(346,478) = 165388 / 2
LCM(346,478) = 82694
