Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7940,1340 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7940,1340 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 153,6359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 972927
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/972927
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7940/153,1340/6359 is 20/972927
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 153,6359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(153,6359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(153,6359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(153,6359) = ( 153 × 6359 ) / 1
LCM(153,6359) = 972927 / 1
LCM(153,6359) = 972927
