:1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 981,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 981,556 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,950
2 | 252, 950 |
126, 475 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 126 x 475 = 119700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 981/252,556/950 is 1/119700
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 252,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,950) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,950) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(252,950) = ( 252 × 950 ) / 2
LCM(252,950) = 239400 / 2
LCM(252,950) = 119700
