:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,27,36,54,81,108,162,324
Now, list down the factors of 7002
:1,2,3,6,9,18,389,778,1167,2334,3501,7002
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 324,7002 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 324,7002 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 746,3500
2 | 746, 3500 |
373, 1750 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 373 x 1750 = 1305500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/1305500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 324/746,7002/3500 is 18/1305500
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 746,3500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(746,3500) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(746,3500) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(746,3500) = ( 746 × 3500 ) / 2
LCM(746,3500) = 2611000 / 2
LCM(746,3500) = 1305500
