Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 545,985 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 545,985 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,725
29 | 986, 725 |
34, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 34 x 25 = 24650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/24650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 545/986,985/725 is 5/24650
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 986,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,725) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,725) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(986,725) = ( 986 × 725 ) / 29
LCM(986,725) = 714850 / 29
LCM(986,725) = 24650
