The factors of 70 are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70
The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
The HCF of 70,56 is 14.
Lets's calculate GCF of 70,56
2 | 70, 56 |
7 | 35, 28 |
5, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 70
:1,2,5,7,10,14,35,70
Now, list down the factors of 56
:1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 70,56 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 70,56 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 786,2887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2269182
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/2269182
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/786,56/2887 is 14/2269182
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 786,2887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(786,2887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(786,2887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(786,2887) = ( 786 × 2887 ) / 1
LCM(786,2887) = 2269182 / 1
LCM(786,2887) = 2269182
