Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 700,362 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 700,362 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,588
7 | 721, 588 |
103, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 103 x 84 = 60564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/60564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 700/721,362/588 is 2/60564
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 721,588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,588) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,588) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(721,588) = ( 721 × 588 ) / 7
LCM(721,588) = 423948 / 7
LCM(721,588) = 60564
