So the greatest common factor 2040,5781 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 343,120
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/41160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2040/343,5781/120 is 3/41160
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 343,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(343,120) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(343,120) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(343,120) = ( 343 × 120 ) / 1
LCM(343,120) = 41160 / 1
LCM(343,120) = 41160
