:1,421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 460,421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 460,421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,280
7 | 63, 280 |
9, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 9 x 40 = 2520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 460/63,421/280 is 1/2520
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 63,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,280) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,280) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(63,280) = ( 63 × 280 ) / 7
LCM(63,280) = 17640 / 7
LCM(63,280) = 2520
