Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7342,9500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7342,9500 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/66130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7342/85,9500/778 is 2/66130
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 85,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,778) = ( 85 × 778 ) / 1
LCM(85,778) = 66130 / 1
LCM(85,778) = 66130
