:1,2,4,8,29,58,116,232
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 725,232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 725,232 is 29.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,214
2 | 472, 214 |
236, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 236 x 107 = 50504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/50504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/472,232/214 is 29/50504
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 472,214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,214) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,214) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(472,214) = ( 472 × 214 ) / 2
LCM(472,214) = 101008 / 2
LCM(472,214) = 50504
