Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 520,635 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 520,635 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 274,976
2 | 274, 976 |
137, 488 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 137 x 488 = 133712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/133712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/274,635/976 is 5/133712
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 274,976 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,976) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,976) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(274,976) = ( 274 × 976 ) / 2
LCM(274,976) = 267424 / 2
LCM(274,976) = 133712
