Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 760,898 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 760,898 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,420
3 | 231, 420 |
7 | 77, 140 |
11, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 11 x 20 = 4620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 760/231,898/420 is 2/4620
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 231,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,420) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,420) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(231,420) = ( 231 × 420 ) / 21
LCM(231,420) = 97020 / 21
LCM(231,420) = 4620
