:1,2,5,10,23,46,115,230
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 416,230 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 416,230 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 726,501
3 | 726, 501 |
242, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 242 x 167 = 121242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/121242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 416/726,230/501 is 2/121242
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 726,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,501) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,501) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(726,501) = ( 726 × 501 ) / 3
LCM(726,501) = 363726 / 3
LCM(726,501) = 121242
