1,3,31,71,93,213,2201,6603
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 852,6603 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 852,6603 is 213.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,970
5 | 35, 970 |
7, 194 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 194 = 6790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 213/6790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 852/35,6603/970 is 213/6790
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 35,970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,970) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,970) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(35,970) = ( 35 × 970 ) / 5
LCM(35,970) = 33950 / 5
LCM(35,970) = 6790
