Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 710,840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 710,840 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 336,502
2 | 336, 502 |
168, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 168 x 251 = 84336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/84336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 710/336,840/502 is 10/84336
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 336,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(336,502) = ( 336 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(336,502) = 168672 / 2
LCM(336,502) = 84336
