1,2,2393,4786
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 234,4786 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 234,4786 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 575,700
5 | 575, 700 |
5 | 115, 140 |
23, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 23 x 28 = 16100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/575,4786/700 is 2/16100
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 575,700 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(575,700) = 25
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(575,700) x common factors =25 x 1 = 25
LCM(575,700) = ( 575 × 700 ) / 25
LCM(575,700) = 402500 / 25
LCM(575,700) = 16100
