Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 314,7379 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 314,7379 is 157.
Lets's calculate LCM of 684,732
2 | 684, 732 |
2 | 342, 366 |
3 | 171, 183 |
57, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 57 x 61 = 41724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 157/41724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 314/684,7379/732 is 157/41724
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 684,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,732) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,732) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(684,732) = ( 684 × 732 ) / 12
LCM(684,732) = 500688 / 12
LCM(684,732) = 41724
