Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1865,1200 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1865,1200 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,502
2 | 556, 502 |
278, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 278 x 251 = 139556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/139556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1865/556,1200/502 is 5/139556
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 556,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(556,502) = ( 556 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(556,502) = 279112 / 2
LCM(556,502) = 139556
