Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 529,722 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 529,722 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,562
2 | 42, 562 |
21, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 281 = 11802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 529/42,722/562 is 1/11802
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 42,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,562) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,562) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,562) = ( 42 × 562 ) / 2
LCM(42,562) = 23604 / 2
LCM(42,562) = 11802
