Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,568
2 | 72, 568 |
2 | 36, 284 |
2 | 18, 142 |
9, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 71 = 5112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/72,971/568 is 1/5112
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 72,568 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,568) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,568) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,568) = ( 72 × 568 ) / 8
LCM(72,568) = 40896 / 8
LCM(72,568) = 5112
