1,31,97,3007
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2914,3007 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2914,3007 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 490,259
7 | 490, 259 |
70, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 70 x 37 = 18130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/18130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2914/490,3007/259 is 31/18130
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 490,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(490,259) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(490,259) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(490,259) = ( 490 × 259 ) / 7
LCM(490,259) = 126910 / 7
LCM(490,259) = 18130
