:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,13,15,20,22,26,30,33,39,44,52,55,60,65,66,78,110,130,132,143,156,165,195,220,260,286,330,390,429,572,660,715,780,858,1430,1716,2145,2860,4290,8580
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3680,8580 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3680,8580 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 105,261
3 | 105, 261 |
35, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 35 x 87 = 9135
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/9135
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3680/105,8580/261 is 20/9135
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 105,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(105,261) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(105,261) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(105,261) = ( 105 × 261 ) / 3
LCM(105,261) = 27405 / 3
LCM(105,261) = 9135
