Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,570 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,570 is 30.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,497
7 | 973, 497 |
139, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 139 x 71 = 69083
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 30/69083
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/973,570/497 is 30/69083
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 973,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,497) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,497) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(973,497) = ( 973 × 497 ) / 7
LCM(973,497) = 483581 / 7
LCM(973,497) = 69083
