:1,2,19,38,67,134,1273,2546
Now, list down the factors of 7000
:1,2,4,5,7,8,10,14,20,25,28,35,40,50,56,70,100,125,140,175,200,250,280,350,500,700,875,1000,1400,1750,3500,7000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2546,7000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2546,7000 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,503
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199691
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/199691
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2546/397,7000/503 is 2/199691
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 397,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,503) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,503) = ( 397 × 503 ) / 1
LCM(397,503) = 199691 / 1
LCM(397,503) = 199691
