1,7,103,721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 756,721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 756,721 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 528,302
2 | 528, 302 |
264, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 264 x 151 = 79728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/79728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 756/528,721/302 is 7/79728
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 528,302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(528,302) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(528,302) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(528,302) = ( 528 × 302 ) / 2
LCM(528,302) = 159456 / 2
LCM(528,302) = 79728
