Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 300,3564 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 300,3564 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 574,968
2 | 574, 968 |
287, 484 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 287 x 484 = 277816
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/277816
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 300/574,3564/968 is 12/277816
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 574,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(574,968) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(574,968) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(574,968) = ( 574 × 968 ) / 2
LCM(574,968) = 555632 / 2
LCM(574,968) = 277816
