Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,744 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,744 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8059,2922
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23548398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/23548398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/8059,744/2922 is 24/23548398
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 8059,2922 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8059,2922) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8059,2922) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(8059,2922) = ( 8059 × 2922 ) / 1
LCM(8059,2922) = 23548398 / 1
LCM(8059,2922) = 23548398
