:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 620,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 620,500 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 786,968
2 | 786, 968 |
393, 484 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 393 x 484 = 380424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/380424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 620/786,500/968 is 20/380424
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 786,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(786,968) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(786,968) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(786,968) = ( 786 × 968 ) / 2
LCM(786,968) = 760848 / 2
LCM(786,968) = 380424
