Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 214,597 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 214,597 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 505,303
101 | 505, 303 |
5, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 101 x 5 x 3 = 1515
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1515
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/505,597/303 is 1/1515
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 505,303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(505,303) = 101
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(505,303) x common factors =101 x 1 = 101
LCM(505,303) = ( 505 × 303 ) / 101
LCM(505,303) = 153015 / 101
LCM(505,303) = 1515
