Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1680,1028 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1680,1028 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,862
2 | 520, 862 |
260, 431 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 260 x 431 = 224120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/224120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1680/520,1028/862 is 4/224120
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 520,862 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,862) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,862) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(520,862) = ( 520 × 862 ) / 2
LCM(520,862) = 448240 / 2
LCM(520,862) = 224120
