Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 276,391 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 276,391 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,800
2 | 502, 800 |
251, 400 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 400 = 200800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/200800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 276/502,391/800 is 23/200800
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 502,800 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,800) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,800) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,800) = ( 502 × 800 ) / 2
LCM(502,800) = 401600 / 2
LCM(502,800) = 200800
