So the greatest common factor 702,538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,629
17 | 85, 629 |
5, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 5 x 37 = 3145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 702/85,538/629 is 2/3145
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 85,629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,629) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,629) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(85,629) = ( 85 × 629 ) / 17
LCM(85,629) = 53465 / 17
LCM(85,629) = 3145
