1,2,4,643,1286,2572
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,2572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,2572 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 970,1745
5 | 970, 1745 |
194, 349 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 194 x 349 = 338530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/338530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/970,2572/1745 is 2/338530
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 970,1745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,1745) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(970,1745) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(970,1745) = ( 970 × 1745 ) / 5
LCM(970,1745) = 1692650 / 5
LCM(970,1745) = 338530
