Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8617,9977 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8617,9977 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 508,402
2 | 508, 402 |
254, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 254 x 201 = 102108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/102108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8617/508,9977/402 is 1/102108
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 508,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(508,402) = ( 508 × 402 ) / 2
LCM(508,402) = 204216 / 2
LCM(508,402) = 102108
