Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3660,6780 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3660,6780 is 60.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,3462
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 972822
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 60/972822
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3660/281,6780/3462 is 60/972822
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 281,3462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,3462) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,3462) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,3462) = ( 281 × 3462 ) / 1
LCM(281,3462) = 972822 / 1
LCM(281,3462) = 972822
