:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12,14,15,20,21,24,28,30,35,40,42,56,60,70,84,105,120,140,168,210,280,420,840
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 756,840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 756,840 is 84.
Lets's calculate LCM of 180,434
2 | 180, 434 |
90, 217 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 90 x 217 = 39060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 84/39060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 756/180,840/434 is 84/39060
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 180,434 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(180,434) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(180,434) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(180,434) = ( 180 × 434 ) / 2
LCM(180,434) = 78120 / 2
LCM(180,434) = 39060
