:1,709
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 568,709 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 568,709 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,302
2 | 242, 302 |
121, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 151 = 36542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 568/242,709/302 is 1/36542
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 242,302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,302) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,302) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,302) = ( 242 × 302 ) / 2
LCM(242,302) = 73084 / 2
LCM(242,302) = 36542
