We found the factors 637,700 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 637,700 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 668,242
2 | 668, 242 |
334, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 334 x 121 = 80828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/80828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 637/668,700/242 is 7/80828
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 668,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(668,242) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(668,242) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(668,242) = ( 668 × 242 ) / 2
LCM(668,242) = 161656 / 2
LCM(668,242) = 80828
