Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3663,2021 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3663,2021 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 720,884
2 | 720, 884 |
2 | 360, 442 |
180, 221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 180 x 221 = 159120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3663/720,2021/884 is 1/159120
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 720,884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,884) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,884) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(720,884) = ( 720 × 884 ) / 4
LCM(720,884) = 636480 / 4
LCM(720,884) = 159120
