1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,49,98,147,294
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 950,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 950,294 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,996
2 | 342, 996 |
3 | 171, 498 |
57, 166 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 57 x 166 = 56772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/342,294/996 is 2/56772
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 342,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,996) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,996) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(342,996) = ( 342 × 996 ) / 6
LCM(342,996) = 340632 / 6
LCM(342,996) = 56772
