Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 703,2072 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 703,2072 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,2546
2 | 214, 2546 |
107, 1273 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 1273 = 272422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/272422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 703/214,2072/2546 is 37/272422
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 214,2546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,2546) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,2546) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,2546) = ( 214 × 2546 ) / 2
LCM(214,2546) = 544844 / 2
LCM(214,2546) = 272422
