:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60,79,158,237,316,395,474,790,948,1185,1580,2370,4740
Now, list down the factors of 9520
:1,2,4,5,7,8,10,14,16,17,20,28,34,35,40,56,68,70,80,85,112,119,136,140,170,238,272,280,340,476,560,595,680,952,1190,1360,1904,2380,4760,9520
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4740,9520 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4740,9520 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 856,732
2 | 856, 732 |
2 | 428, 366 |
214, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 214 x 183 = 156648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/156648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4740/856,9520/732 is 20/156648
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 856,732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(856,732) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(856,732) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(856,732) = ( 856 × 732 ) / 4
LCM(856,732) = 626592 / 4
LCM(856,732) = 156648
