Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 728,2597 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 728,2597 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 222,916
2 | 222, 916 |
111, 458 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 111 x 458 = 101676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/101676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 728/222,2597/916 is 7/101676
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 222,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(222,916) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(222,916) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(222,916) = ( 222 × 916 ) / 2
LCM(222,916) = 203352 / 2
LCM(222,916) = 101676
