Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 425,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 425,731 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,6116
2 | 26, 6116 |
13, 3058 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 3058 = 79508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/79508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 425/26,731/6116 is 17/79508
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 26,6116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,6116) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,6116) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,6116) = ( 26 × 6116 ) / 2
LCM(26,6116) = 159016 / 2
LCM(26,6116) = 79508
