So the greatest common factor 560,680 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 836,138
2 | 836, 138 |
418, 69 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 418 x 69 = 57684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/57684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 560/836,680/138 is 40/57684
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 836,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(836,138) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(836,138) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(836,138) = ( 836 × 138 ) / 2
LCM(836,138) = 115368 / 2
LCM(836,138) = 57684
