Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7204,1160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7204,1160 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,123
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/63960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7204/520,1160/123 is 4/63960
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 520,123 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,123) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,123) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(520,123) = ( 520 × 123 ) / 1
LCM(520,123) = 63960 / 1
LCM(520,123) = 63960
