Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 970,1040 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 970,1040 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 305,806
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 245830
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/245830
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 970/305,1040/806 is 10/245830
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 305,806 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,806) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,806) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,806) = ( 305 × 806 ) / 1
LCM(305,806) = 245830 / 1
LCM(305,806) = 245830
