:1,2,7,14,71,142,497,994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 406,994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 406,994 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,850
2 | 68, 850 |
17 | 34, 425 |
2, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 2 x 25 = 1700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/1700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/68,994/850 is 14/1700
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 68,850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,850) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,850) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(68,850) = ( 68 × 850 ) / 34
LCM(68,850) = 57800 / 34
LCM(68,850) = 1700
