We found the factors 288,640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,640 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 90,666
2 | 90, 666 |
3 | 45, 333 |
3 | 15, 111 |
5, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 37 = 3330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/3330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/90,640/666 is 32/3330
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 90,666 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(90,666) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(90,666) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(90,666) = ( 90 × 666 ) / 18
LCM(90,666) = 59940 / 18
LCM(90,666) = 3330
