:1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 725,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 725,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,9012
2 | 70, 9012 |
35, 4506 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 35 x 4506 = 315420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/315420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/70,173/9012 is 1/315420
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 70,9012 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,9012) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,9012) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(70,9012) = ( 70 × 9012 ) / 2
LCM(70,9012) = 630840 / 2
LCM(70,9012) = 315420
