:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,23,40,46,92,115,184,230,460,920
Now, list down the factors of 3740
:1,2,4,5,10,11,17,20,22,34,44,55,68,85,110,170,187,220,340,374,748,935,1870,3740
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 920,3740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 920,3740 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 983,368
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 361744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/361744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 920/983,3740/368 is 20/361744
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 983,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(983,368) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(983,368) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(983,368) = ( 983 × 368 ) / 1
LCM(983,368) = 361744 / 1
LCM(983,368) = 361744
