So the greatest common factor 2856,9732 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,502
| 2 | 70, 502 |
| 35, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 35 x 251 = 17570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/17570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2856/70,9732/502 is 12/17570
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 70,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(70,502) = ( 70 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(70,502) = 35140 / 2
LCM(70,502) = 17570
