Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1894,3432 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1894,3432 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 840,342
2 | 840, 342 |
3 | 420, 171 |
140, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 140 x 57 = 47880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1894/840,3432/342 is 2/47880
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 840,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(840,342) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(840,342) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(840,342) = ( 840 × 342 ) / 6
LCM(840,342) = 287280 / 6
LCM(840,342) = 47880
