:1,31,101,3131
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8585,3131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8585,3131 is 101.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,284
| 2 | 30, 284 |
| 15, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 15 x 142 = 4260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 101/4260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8585/30,3131/284 is 101/4260
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 30,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,284) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,284) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(30,284) = ( 30 × 284 ) / 2
LCM(30,284) = 8520 / 2
LCM(30,284) = 4260
