Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 564,252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 564,252 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,5102
2 | 70, 5102 |
35, 2551 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 35 x 2551 = 178570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/178570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 564/70,252/5102 is 12/178570
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 70,5102 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,5102) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,5102) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(70,5102) = ( 70 × 5102 ) / 2
LCM(70,5102) = 357140 / 2
LCM(70,5102) = 178570
