Lets's calculate GCF of 9002,9700
2 | 9002, 9700 |
4501, 4850 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 9002
:1,2,7,14,643,1286,4501,9002
Now, list down the factors of 9700
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,97,100,194,388,485,970,1940,2425,4850,9700
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9002,9700 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9002,9700 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,478
2 | 502, 478 |
251, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 239 = 119978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/119978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9002/502,9700/478 is 2/119978
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 502,478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,478) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,478) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,478) = ( 502 × 478 ) / 2
LCM(502,478) = 239956 / 2
LCM(502,478) = 119978
