Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 882,5402 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 882,5402 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,850
2 | 236, 850 |
118, 425 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 118 x 425 = 100300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/236,5402/850 is 2/100300
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 236,850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,850) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,850) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(236,850) = ( 236 × 850 ) / 2
LCM(236,850) = 200600 / 2
LCM(236,850) = 100300
