1,3,1697,5091
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3598,5091 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3598,5091 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,698
2 | 50, 698 |
25, 349 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 349 = 17450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3598/50,5091/698 is 1/17450
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 50,698 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,698) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,698) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,698) = ( 50 × 698 ) / 2
LCM(50,698) = 34900 / 2
LCM(50,698) = 17450
