Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2042,4528 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2042,4528 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 668,8960
2 | 668, 8960 |
2 | 334, 4480 |
167, 2240 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 167 x 2240 = 1496320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1496320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2042/668,4528/8960 is 2/1496320
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 668,8960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(668,8960) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(668,8960) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(668,8960) = ( 668 × 8960 ) / 4
LCM(668,8960) = 5985280 / 4
LCM(668,8960) = 1496320
