Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 849,848 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 849,848 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 358,840
2 | 358, 840 |
179, 420 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 179 x 420 = 150360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/150360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 849/358,848/840 is 1/150360
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 358,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,840) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,840) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(358,840) = ( 358 × 840 ) / 2
LCM(358,840) = 300720 / 2
LCM(358,840) = 150360
