2 | 490, 602 |
7 | 245, 301 |
35, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 490
:1,2,5,7,10,14,35,49,70,98,245,490
Now, list down the factors of 602
:1,2,7,14,43,86,301,602
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,602 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,602 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,962
2 | 68, 962 |
34, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 34 x 481 = 32708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/32708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/68,602/962 is 14/32708
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 68,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,962) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(68,962) = ( 68 × 962 ) / 2
LCM(68,962) = 65416 / 2
LCM(68,962) = 32708
