Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 884,5877 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 884,5877 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 980,746
2 | 980, 746 |
490, 373 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 490 x 373 = 365540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/365540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 884/980,5877/746 is 1/365540
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 980,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,746) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,746) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(980,746) = ( 980 × 746 ) / 2
LCM(980,746) = 731080 / 2
LCM(980,746) = 365540
