1,2,3,6,9,18,83,166,249,498,747,1494
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2214,1494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2214,1494 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,820
2 | 20, 820 |
2 | 10, 410 |
5 | 5, 205 |
1, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 41 = 820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2214/20,1494/820 is 18/820
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 20,820 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,820) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,820) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(20,820) = ( 20 × 820 ) / 20
LCM(20,820) = 16400 / 20
LCM(20,820) = 820
