:1,983
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 530,983 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 530,983 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,320
2 | 78, 320 |
39, 160 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 160 = 12480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 530/78,983/320 is 1/12480
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 78,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,320) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,320) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,320) = ( 78 × 320 ) / 2
LCM(78,320) = 24960 / 2
LCM(78,320) = 12480
