Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 472,474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 472,474 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 718,574
2 | 718, 574 |
359, 287 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 359 x 287 = 206066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/206066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 472/718,474/574 is 2/206066
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 718,574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(718,574) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(718,574) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(718,574) = ( 718 × 574 ) / 2
LCM(718,574) = 412132 / 2
LCM(718,574) = 206066
