Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1718,2525 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1718,2525 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 596,888
2 | 596, 888 |
2 | 298, 444 |
149, 222 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 149 x 222 = 132312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/132312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1718/596,2525/888 is 1/132312
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 596,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,888) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,888) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(596,888) = ( 596 × 888 ) / 4
LCM(596,888) = 529248 / 4
LCM(596,888) = 132312
