:1,2,11,22,23,46,253,506
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 726,506 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 726,506 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/13888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/64,506/217 is 22/13888
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 64,217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(64,217) = ( 64 × 217 ) / 1
LCM(64,217) = 13888 / 1
LCM(64,217) = 13888
