:1,2,3,4,6,12,727,1454,2181,2908,4362,8724
Now, list down the factors of 8724
:1,2,3,4,6,12,727,1454,2181,2908,4362,8724
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8724,8724 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8724,8724 is 8724.
Lets's calculate LCM of 267,840
3 | 267, 840 |
89, 280 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 89 x 280 = 74760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8724/74760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8724/267,8724/840 is 8724/74760
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 267,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(267,840) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(267,840) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(267,840) = ( 267 × 840 ) / 3
LCM(267,840) = 224280 / 3
LCM(267,840) = 74760
