Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1000,3118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1000,3118 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 496,8875
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4402000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4402000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1000/496,3118/8875 is 2/4402000
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 496,8875 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,8875) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,8875) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,8875) = ( 496 × 8875 ) / 1
LCM(496,8875) = 4402000 / 1
LCM(496,8875) = 4402000
