Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 256,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 256,550 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 627,665
19 | 627, 665 |
33, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 33 x 35 = 21945
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21945
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 256/627,550/665 is 2/21945
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 627,665 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(627,665) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(627,665) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(627,665) = ( 627 × 665 ) / 19
LCM(627,665) = 416955 / 19
LCM(627,665) = 21945
