Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 969,779 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 969,779 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 381,294
3 | 381, 294 |
127, 98 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 127 x 98 = 37338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/37338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 969/381,779/294 is 19/37338
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 381,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(381,294) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(381,294) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(381,294) = ( 381 × 294 ) / 3
LCM(381,294) = 112014 / 3
LCM(381,294) = 37338
