Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7640,5230 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7640,5230 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,687
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165567
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/165567
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7640/241,5230/687 is 10/165567
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 241,687 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,687) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,687) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,687) = ( 241 × 687 ) / 1
LCM(241,687) = 165567 / 1
LCM(241,687) = 165567
