1,2,13,19,26,38,247,494
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 918,494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 918,494 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,234
2 | 86, 234 |
43, 117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 117 = 10062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/86,494/234 is 2/10062
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 86,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,234) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,234) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,234) = ( 86 × 234 ) / 2
LCM(86,234) = 20124 / 2
LCM(86,234) = 10062
