Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 280,1684 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 280,1684 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 580,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 510980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/510980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/580,1684/881 is 4/510980
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 580,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(580,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(580,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(580,881) = ( 580 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(580,881) = 510980 / 1
LCM(580,881) = 510980
