Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2991,8004 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2991,8004 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 682,706
2 | 682, 706 |
341, 353 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 341 x 353 = 240746
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/240746
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2991/682,8004/706 is 3/240746
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 682,706 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(682,706) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(682,706) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(682,706) = ( 682 × 706 ) / 2
LCM(682,706) = 481492 / 2
LCM(682,706) = 240746
