Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 784,837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 784,837 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,620
2 | 20, 620 |
2 | 10, 310 |
5 | 5, 155 |
1, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 31 = 620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 784/20,837/620 is 1/620
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 20,620 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,620) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,620) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(20,620) = ( 20 × 620 ) / 20
LCM(20,620) = 12400 / 20
LCM(20,620) = 620
