Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 995,9572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 995,9572 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,938
2 | 262, 938 |
131, 469 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 131 x 469 = 122878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/122878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 995/262,9572/938 is 1/122878
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 262,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,938) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,938) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(262,938) = ( 262 × 938 ) / 2
LCM(262,938) = 245756 / 2
LCM(262,938) = 122878
