Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8784,4956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8784,4956 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 494,339
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167466
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/167466
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8784/494,4956/339 is 12/167466
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 494,339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(494,339) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(494,339) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(494,339) = ( 494 × 339 ) / 1
LCM(494,339) = 167466 / 1
LCM(494,339) = 167466
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
