Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 857,2832 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 857,2832 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 725,870
5 | 725, 870 |
29 | 145, 174 |
5, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 29 x 5 x 6 = 4350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 857/725,2832/870 is 1/4350
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 725,870 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(725,870) = 145
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(725,870) x common factors =145 x 1 = 145
LCM(725,870) = ( 725 × 870 ) / 145
LCM(725,870) = 630750 / 145
LCM(725,870) = 4350
