:1,2,4,5,7,8,10,14,16,20,28,32,35,40,49,56,70,80,98,112,140,160,196,224,245,280,392,490,560,784,980,1120,1568,1960,3920,7840
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2320,7840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2320,7840 is 80.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,306
3 | 429, 306 |
143, 102 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 143 x 102 = 43758
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 80/43758
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2320/429,7840/306 is 80/43758
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 429,306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,306) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,306) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(429,306) = ( 429 × 306 ) / 3
LCM(429,306) = 131274 / 3
LCM(429,306) = 43758
