Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3517,7635 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3517,7635 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 580,196
2 | 580, 196 |
2 | 290, 98 |
145, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 145 x 49 = 28420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3517/580,7635/196 is 1/28420
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 580,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(580,196) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(580,196) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(580,196) = ( 580 × 196 ) / 4
LCM(580,196) = 113680 / 4
LCM(580,196) = 28420
