So the greatest common factor 6950,8637 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 104,520
2 | 104, 520 |
2 | 52, 260 |
2 | 26, 130 |
13 | 13, 65 |
1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 1 x 5 = 520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6950/104,8637/520 is 1/520
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 104,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(104,520) = 104
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(104,520) x common factors =104 x 1 = 104
LCM(104,520) = ( 104 × 520 ) / 104
LCM(104,520) = 54080 / 104
LCM(104,520) = 520
