Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6980,8605 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6980,8605 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 301,792
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/238392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6980/301,8605/792 is 5/238392
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 301,792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(301,792) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(301,792) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(301,792) = ( 301 × 792 ) / 1
LCM(301,792) = 238392 / 1
LCM(301,792) = 238392
