Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1687,7279 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1687,7279 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 700,992
2 | 700, 992 |
2 | 350, 496 |
175, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 175 x 248 = 173600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1687/700,7279/992 is 1/173600
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 700,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(700,992) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(700,992) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(700,992) = ( 700 × 992 ) / 4
LCM(700,992) = 694400 / 4
LCM(700,992) = 173600
