Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7360,2920 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7360,2920 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,8024
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1853544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/1853544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7360/231,2920/8024 is 40/1853544
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 231,8024 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,8024) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,8024) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,8024) = ( 231 × 8024 ) / 1
LCM(231,8024) = 1853544 / 1
LCM(231,8024) = 1853544
