Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1531,1528 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1531,1528 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,870
2 | 686, 870 |
343, 435 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 343 x 435 = 298410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/298410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1531/686,1528/870 is 1/298410
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 686,870 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,870) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,870) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(686,870) = ( 686 × 870 ) / 2
LCM(686,870) = 596820 / 2
LCM(686,870) = 298410
