1,3,19,57,97,291,1843,5529
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2020,5529 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2020,5529 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,342
2 | 42, 342 |
3 | 21, 171 |
7, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 57 = 2394
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2394
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2020/42,5529/342 is 1/2394
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 42,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,342) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,342) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(42,342) = ( 42 × 342 ) / 6
LCM(42,342) = 14364 / 6
LCM(42,342) = 2394
