Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 994,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 994,556 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,802
2 | 558, 802 |
279, 401 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 279 x 401 = 223758
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/223758
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/558,556/802 is 2/223758
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 558,802 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,802) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,802) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(558,802) = ( 558 × 802 ) / 2
LCM(558,802) = 447516 / 2
LCM(558,802) = 223758
