We found the factors 661,341 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 661,341 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 840,500
2 | 840, 500 |
2 | 420, 250 |
5 | 210, 125 |
42, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 42 x 25 = 21000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 661/840,341/500 is 1/21000
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 840,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(840,500) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(840,500) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(840,500) = ( 840 × 500 ) / 20
LCM(840,500) = 420000 / 20
LCM(840,500) = 21000
