:1,2,4,151,302,604
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 645,604 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 645,604 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,502
2 | 72, 502 |
36, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 251 = 18072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 645/72,604/502 is 1/18072
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 72,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(72,502) = ( 72 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(72,502) = 36144 / 2
LCM(72,502) = 18072
