We found the factors 502,743 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 502,743 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,702
2 | 82, 702 |
41, 351 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 351 = 28782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/82,743/702 is 1/28782
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 82,702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,702) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,702) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,702) = ( 82 × 702 ) / 2
LCM(82,702) = 57564 / 2
LCM(82,702) = 28782
