Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 552,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 552,556 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 470,458
2 | 470, 458 |
235, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 235 x 229 = 107630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/107630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 552/470,556/458 is 4/107630
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 470,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(470,458) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(470,458) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(470,458) = ( 470 × 458 ) / 2
LCM(470,458) = 215260 / 2
LCM(470,458) = 107630
