Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,6671 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,6671 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,5140
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 961180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/961180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/187,6671/5140 is 1/961180
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 187,5140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,5140) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,5140) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,5140) = ( 187 × 5140 ) / 1
LCM(187,5140) = 961180 / 1
LCM(187,5140) = 961180
