Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 385,4140 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 385,4140 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 108,360
2 | 108, 360 |
2 | 54, 180 |
3 | 27, 90 |
3 | 9, 30 |
3, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 10 = 1080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/108,4140/360 is 5/1080
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 108,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(108,360) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(108,360) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(108,360) = ( 108 × 360 ) / 36
LCM(108,360) = 38880 / 36
LCM(108,360) = 1080
