Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 820,280 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 820,280 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,348
2 | 46, 348 |
23, 174 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 174 = 8004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/8004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 820/46,280/348 is 20/8004
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 46,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,348) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,348) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(46,348) = ( 46 × 348 ) / 2
LCM(46,348) = 16008 / 2
LCM(46,348) = 8004
