We found the factors 749,3857 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 749,3857 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 602,260
2 | 602, 260 |
301, 130 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 301 x 130 = 78260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/78260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 749/602,3857/260 is 7/78260
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 602,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(602,260) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(602,260) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(602,260) = ( 602 × 260 ) / 2
LCM(602,260) = 156520 / 2
LCM(602,260) = 78260
