∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 959
:1,7,137,959
Now, list down the factors of 420
:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,12,14,15,20,21,28,30,35,42,60,70,84,105,140,210,420
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 959,420 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 959,420 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,8759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 262770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/262770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 959/30,420/8759 is 7/262770
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 30,8759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,8759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,8759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(30,8759) = ( 30 × 8759 ) / 1
LCM(30,8759) = 262770 / 1
LCM(30,8759) = 262770
