Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3604,1564 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3604,1564 is 68.
Lets's calculate LCM of 338,730
2 | 338, 730 |
169, 365 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 169 x 365 = 123370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 68/123370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3604/338,1564/730 is 68/123370
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 338,730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,730) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,730) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(338,730) = ( 338 × 730 ) / 2
LCM(338,730) = 246740 / 2
LCM(338,730) = 123370
