Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 723,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 723,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,428
2 | 66, 428 |
33, 214 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 214 = 14124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 723/66,257/428 is 1/14124
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 66,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,428) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,428) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(66,428) = ( 66 × 428 ) / 2
LCM(66,428) = 28248 / 2
LCM(66,428) = 14124
