1,3,17,29,51,87,493,1479
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 278,1479 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 278,1479 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 717,6750
3 | 717, 6750 |
239, 2250 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 239 x 2250 = 1613250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1613250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 278/717,1479/6750 is 1/1613250
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 717,6750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(717,6750) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(717,6750) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(717,6750) = ( 717 × 6750 ) / 3
LCM(717,6750) = 4839750 / 3
LCM(717,6750) = 1613250
