So the greatest common factor 471,628 is 157.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,504
2 | 14, 504 |
7 | 7, 252 |
1, 36 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 1 x 36 = 504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 157/504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/14,628/504 is 157/504
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 14,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,504) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,504) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(14,504) = ( 14 × 504 ) / 14
LCM(14,504) = 7056 / 14
LCM(14,504) = 504
