Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 30,10,978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 30,10,978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,235,548
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2961940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2961940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 30/23,10/235,978/548 is 2/2961940
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 23,235,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,235,548) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,235,548) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,235,548) = ( 23 × 235 × 548 ) / 1
LCM(23,235,548) = 2961940 / 1
LCM(23,235,548) = 2961940
