Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 494,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 494,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,9775
5 | 25, 9775 |
5 | 5, 1955 |
1, 391 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 1 x 391 = 9775
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9775
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/25,246/9775 is 2/9775
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 25,9775 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,9775) = 25
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,9775) x common factors =25 x 1 = 25
LCM(25,9775) = ( 25 × 9775 ) / 25
LCM(25,9775) = 244375 / 25
LCM(25,9775) = 9775
