1,2,4,79,158,316
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 988,316 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 988,316 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 898,941
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 845018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/845018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/898,316/941 is 4/845018
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 898,941 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(898,941) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(898,941) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(898,941) = ( 898 × 941 ) / 1
LCM(898,941) = 845018 / 1
LCM(898,941) = 845018
