:1,3,5,15,47,141,235,705
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 220,705 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 220,705 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,8685
5 | 20, 8685 |
4, 1737 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 4 x 1737 = 34740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/34740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 220/20,705/8685 is 5/34740
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 20,8685 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,8685) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,8685) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(20,8685) = ( 20 × 8685 ) / 5
LCM(20,8685) = 173700 / 5
LCM(20,8685) = 34740
