So the greatest common factor 642,770 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,2620
2 | 16, 2620 |
2 | 8, 1310 |
4, 655 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 4 x 655 = 10480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 642/16,770/2620 is 2/10480
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 16,2620 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,2620) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,2620) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(16,2620) = ( 16 × 2620 ) / 4
LCM(16,2620) = 41920 / 4
LCM(16,2620) = 10480
