Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7552,8821 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7552,8821 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 508,120
2 | 508, 120 |
2 | 254, 60 |
127, 30 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 127 x 30 = 15240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7552/508,8821/120 is 1/15240
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 508,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,120) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,120) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(508,120) = ( 508 × 120 ) / 4
LCM(508,120) = 60960 / 4
LCM(508,120) = 15240
