Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 247,7111 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 247,7111 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,718
2 | 118, 718 |
59, 359 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 359 = 42362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/42362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/118,7111/718 is 13/42362
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 118,718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,718) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,718) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(118,718) = ( 118 × 718 ) / 2
LCM(118,718) = 84724 / 2
LCM(118,718) = 42362
