Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2404,3978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2404,3978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 123,160
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2404/123,3978/160 is 2/19680
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 123,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(123,160) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(123,160) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(123,160) = ( 123 × 160 ) / 1
LCM(123,160) = 19680 / 1
LCM(123,160) = 19680
