Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7900,8851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7900,8851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 874,240
2 | 874, 240 |
437, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 120 = 104880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/104880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7900/874,8851/240 is 1/104880
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 874,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,240) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,240) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,240) = ( 874 × 240 ) / 2
LCM(874,240) = 209760 / 2
LCM(874,240) = 104880
