So the greatest common factor 696,980 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,7318
2 | 12, 7318 |
6, 3659 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 3659 = 43908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/43908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 696/12,980/7318 is 4/43908
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 12,7318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,7318) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,7318) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(12,7318) = ( 12 × 7318 ) / 2
LCM(12,7318) = 87816 / 2
LCM(12,7318) = 43908
