Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 980,1680 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 980,1680 is 140.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,618
2 | 272, 618 |
136, 309 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 136 x 309 = 84048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 140/84048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 980/272,1680/618 is 140/84048
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 272,618 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,618) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,618) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(272,618) = ( 272 × 618 ) / 2
LCM(272,618) = 168096 / 2
LCM(272,618) = 84048
