Lets's calculate LCM of 506,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 354706
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/354706
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 64/506,72/701 is 8/354706
Least Common Multiple of 506,701 with GCF Formula
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 506,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(506,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(506,701) = ( 506 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(506,701) = 354706 / 1
LCM(506,701) = 354706
