Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6472,2572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6472,2572 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 205,572
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/117260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6472/205,2572/572 is 4/117260
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 205,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(205,572) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(205,572) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(205,572) = ( 205 × 572 ) / 1
LCM(205,572) = 117260 / 1
LCM(205,572) = 117260
