:1,2,7,14,71,142,497,994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 300,994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 300,994 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 552,134
2 | 552, 134 |
276, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 276 x 67 = 36984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/36984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 300/552,994/134 is 2/36984
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 552,134 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(552,134) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(552,134) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(552,134) = ( 552 × 134 ) / 2
LCM(552,134) = 73968 / 2
LCM(552,134) = 36984
