Lets's calculate LCM of 700,900
2 | 700, 900 |
2 | 350, 450 |
5 | 175, 225 |
5 | 35, 45 |
7, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 9 = 6300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/700,7978/900 is 2/6300
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 700,900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(700,900) = 100
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(700,900) x common factors =100 x 1 = 100
LCM(700,900) = ( 700 × 900 ) / 100
LCM(700,900) = 630000 / 100
LCM(700,900) = 6300
