Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 472,9971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 472,9971 is 59.
Lets's calculate LCM of 568,804
2 | 568, 804 |
2 | 284, 402 |
142, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 142 x 201 = 114168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 59/114168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 472/568,9971/804 is 59/114168
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 568,804 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(568,804) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(568,804) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(568,804) = ( 568 × 804 ) / 4
LCM(568,804) = 456672 / 4
LCM(568,804) = 114168
