Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 519,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 519,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,978
2 | 68, 978 |
34, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 34 x 489 = 33252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 519/68,971/978 is 1/33252
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 68,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(68,978) = ( 68 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(68,978) = 66504 / 2
LCM(68,978) = 33252
