Lets's calculate GCF of 703,296
37 | 703, 296 |
19, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Now, list down the factors of 703
:1,19,37,703
Now, list down the factors of 296
:1,2,4,8,37,74,148,296
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 703,296 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 703,296 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,834
2 | 72, 834 |
3 | 36, 417 |
12, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 12 x 139 = 10008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/10008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 703/72,296/834 is 37/10008
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 72,834 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,834) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,834) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(72,834) = ( 72 × 834 ) / 6
LCM(72,834) = 60048 / 6
LCM(72,834) = 10008
