We found the factors 506,526 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,526 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 705,969
3 | 705, 969 |
235, 323 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 235 x 323 = 227715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/227715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/705,526/969 is 2/227715
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 705,969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(705,969) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(705,969) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(705,969) = ( 705 × 969 ) / 3
LCM(705,969) = 683145 / 3
LCM(705,969) = 227715
