1,2,4,8,701,1402,2804,5608
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5224,5608 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5224,5608 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,329
7 | 14, 329 |
2, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 2 x 47 = 658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5224/14,5608/329 is 8/658
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 14,329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,329) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,329) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(14,329) = ( 14 × 329 ) / 7
LCM(14,329) = 4606 / 7
LCM(14,329) = 658
