We found the factors 7072,1428 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7072,1428 is 68.
Lets's calculate LCM of 604,918
2 | 604, 918 |
302, 459 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 302 x 459 = 277236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 68/277236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7072/604,1428/918 is 68/277236
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 604,918 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(604,918) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(604,918) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(604,918) = ( 604 × 918 ) / 2
LCM(604,918) = 554472 / 2
LCM(604,918) = 277236
