Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 142,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 142,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 524,806
2 | 524, 806 |
262, 403 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 262 x 403 = 211172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/211172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 142/524,221/806 is 1/211172
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 524,806 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(524,806) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(524,806) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(524,806) = ( 524 × 806 ) / 2
LCM(524,806) = 422344 / 2
LCM(524,806) = 211172
