Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 504,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 504,974 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,906
2 | 212, 906 |
106, 453 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 106 x 453 = 96036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/96036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/212,974/906 is 2/96036
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 212,906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,906) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,906) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(212,906) = ( 212 × 906 ) / 2
LCM(212,906) = 192072 / 2
LCM(212,906) = 96036
