We found the factors 2231,2600 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2231,2600 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 696,348
2 | 696, 348 |
2 | 348, 174 |
3 | 87, 174 |
29 | 29, 58 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 29 x 1 x 2 = 696
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/696
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2231/696,2600/348 is 1/696
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 696,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(696,348) = 348
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(696,348) x common factors =348 x 1 = 348
LCM(696,348) = ( 696 × 348 ) / 348
LCM(696,348) = 242208 / 348
LCM(696,348) = 696
