We found the factors 366,420 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 366,420 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,1412
2 | 28, 1412 |
2 | 14, 706 |
7, 353 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 353 = 9884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/9884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 366/28,420/1412 is 6/9884
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 28,1412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,1412) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,1412) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(28,1412) = ( 28 × 1412 ) / 4
LCM(28,1412) = 39536 / 4
LCM(28,1412) = 9884
