Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3580,3020 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3580,3020 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 293,1437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 421041
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/421041
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3580/293,3020/1437 is 20/421041
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 293,1437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(293,1437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(293,1437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(293,1437) = ( 293 × 1437 ) / 1
LCM(293,1437) = 421041 / 1
LCM(293,1437) = 421041
