1,2,4,8,16,163,326,652,1304,2608
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1080,2608 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1080,2608 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,940
2 | 30, 940 |
5 | 15, 470 |
3, 94 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 3 x 94 = 2820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1080/30,2608/940 is 8/2820
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 30,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,940) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,940) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(30,940) = ( 30 × 940 ) / 10
LCM(30,940) = 28200 / 10
LCM(30,940) = 2820
