Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4002,7580 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4002,7580 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,518
2 | 724, 518 |
362, 259 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 362 x 259 = 187516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/187516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4002/724,7580/518 is 2/187516
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 724,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,518) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,518) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(724,518) = ( 724 × 518 ) / 2
LCM(724,518) = 375032 / 2
LCM(724,518) = 187516
