We found the factors 906,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 906,406 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,259
7 | 497, 259 |
71, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 71 x 37 = 18389
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18389
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 906/497,406/259 is 2/18389
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 497,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,259) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,259) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(497,259) = ( 497 × 259 ) / 7
LCM(497,259) = 128723 / 7
LCM(497,259) = 18389
