We found the factors 5732,5582 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5732,5582 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 900,2784
2 | 900, 2784 |
2 | 450, 1392 |
3 | 225, 696 |
75, 232 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 75 x 232 = 208800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/208800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5732/900,5582/2784 is 2/208800
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 900,2784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(900,2784) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(900,2784) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(900,2784) = ( 900 × 2784 ) / 12
LCM(900,2784) = 2505600 / 12
LCM(900,2784) = 208800
