Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 379,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 379,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,3159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 379/20,221/3159 is 1/63180
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 20,3159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,3159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,3159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,3159) = ( 20 × 3159 ) / 1
LCM(20,3159) = 63180 / 1
LCM(20,3159) = 63180
