Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8720,2945 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8720,2945 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 182,2603
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 473746
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/473746
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8720/182,2945/2603 is 5/473746
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 182,2603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(182,2603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(182,2603) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(182,2603) = ( 182 × 2603 ) / 1
LCM(182,2603) = 473746 / 1
LCM(182,2603) = 473746
