Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 640,662 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 640,662 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 705,474
3 | 705, 474 |
235, 158 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 235 x 158 = 111390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/111390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 640/705,662/474 is 2/111390
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 705,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(705,474) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(705,474) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(705,474) = ( 705 × 474 ) / 3
LCM(705,474) = 334170 / 3
LCM(705,474) = 111390
