Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 832,656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 832,656 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,702
2 | 50, 702 |
25, 351 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 351 = 17550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/17550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 832/50,656/702 is 16/17550
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 50,702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,702) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,702) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,702) = ( 50 × 702 ) / 2
LCM(50,702) = 35100 / 2
LCM(50,702) = 17550
