:1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 440,474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 440,474 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,3120
2 | 18, 3120 |
3 | 9, 1560 |
3, 520 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 520 = 9360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 440/18,474/3120 is 2/9360
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 18,3120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,3120) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,3120) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(18,3120) = ( 18 × 3120 ) / 6
LCM(18,3120) = 56160 / 6
LCM(18,3120) = 9360
