Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 687,6840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 687,6840 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 715,525
5 | 715, 525 |
143, 105 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 143 x 105 = 75075
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/75075
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 687/715,6840/525 is 3/75075
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 715,525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(715,525) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(715,525) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(715,525) = ( 715 × 525 ) / 5
LCM(715,525) = 375375 / 5
LCM(715,525) = 75075
