1,2,37,74,101,202,3737,7474
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2221,7474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2221,7474 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 235,2660
5 | 235, 2660 |
47, 532 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 47 x 532 = 125020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/125020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2221/235,7474/2660 is 1/125020
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 235,2660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,2660) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,2660) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(235,2660) = ( 235 × 2660 ) / 5
LCM(235,2660) = 625100 / 5
LCM(235,2660) = 125020
