Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3700,6666 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3700,6666 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 804,430
2 | 804, 430 |
402, 215 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 402 x 215 = 172860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/172860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3700/804,6666/430 is 2/172860
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 804,430 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(804,430) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(804,430) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(804,430) = ( 804 × 430 ) / 2
LCM(804,430) = 345720 / 2
LCM(804,430) = 172860
