We found the factors 1542,3752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1542,3752 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 140,680
2 | 140, 680 |
2 | 70, 340 |
5 | 35, 170 |
7, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 34 = 4760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1542/140,3752/680 is 2/4760
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 140,680 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(140,680) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(140,680) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(140,680) = ( 140 × 680 ) / 20
LCM(140,680) = 95200 / 20
LCM(140,680) = 4760
