Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 960,138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 960,138 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 585,204
3 | 585, 204 |
195, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 195 x 68 = 39780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/39780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 960/585,138/204 is 6/39780
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 585,204 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,204) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,204) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(585,204) = ( 585 × 204 ) / 3
LCM(585,204) = 119340 / 3
LCM(585,204) = 39780
