Now, list down the factors of 710
:1,2,5,10,71,142,355,710
Now, list down the factors of 288
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,32,36,48,72,96,144,288
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 710,288 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 710,288 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,581
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 710/12,288/581 is 2/6972
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 12,581 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,581) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,581) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,581) = ( 12 × 581 ) / 1
LCM(12,581) = 6972 / 1
LCM(12,581) = 6972
