Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2496,2212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2496,2212 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,760
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/66120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2496/87,2212/760 is 4/66120
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 87,760 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,760) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,760) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,760) = ( 87 × 760 ) / 1
LCM(87,760) = 66120 / 1
LCM(87,760) = 66120
