:1,2,29,58,101,202,2929,5858
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 600,5858 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 600,5858 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 422,840
2 | 422, 840 |
211, 420 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 211 x 420 = 177240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/177240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/422,5858/840 is 2/177240
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 422,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(422,840) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(422,840) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(422,840) = ( 422 × 840 ) / 2
LCM(422,840) = 354480 / 2
LCM(422,840) = 177240
