Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5664,3136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5664,3136 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 357,725
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/258825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5664/357,3136/725 is 32/258825
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 357,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,725) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(357,725) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(357,725) = ( 357 × 725 ) / 1
LCM(357,725) = 258825 / 1
LCM(357,725) = 258825
