Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 270,7372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 270,7372 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,640
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/39040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 270/61,7372/640 is 2/39040
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 61,640 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,640) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,640) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,640) = ( 61 × 640 ) / 1
LCM(61,640) = 39040 / 1
LCM(61,640) = 39040
