Lets's calculate GCF of 2522,1202
2 | 2522, 1202 |
1261, 601 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 2522
:1,2,13,26,97,194,1261,2522
Now, list down the factors of 1202
:1,2,601,1202
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2522,1202 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2522,1202 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 711,170
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/120870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2522/711,1202/170 is 2/120870
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 711,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(711,170) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(711,170) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(711,170) = ( 711 × 170 ) / 1
LCM(711,170) = 120870 / 1
LCM(711,170) = 120870
