Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 997,3309 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 997,3309 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,340
2 | 686, 340 |
343, 170 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 343 x 170 = 116620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 997/686,3309/340 is 1/116620
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 686,340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,340) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,340) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(686,340) = ( 686 × 340 ) / 2
LCM(686,340) = 233240 / 2
LCM(686,340) = 116620
