1,2,3,6,331,662,993,1986
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 390,1986 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 390,1986 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 785,290
5 | 785, 290 |
157, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 157 x 58 = 45530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/45530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 390/785,1986/290 is 6/45530
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 785,290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,290) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,290) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(785,290) = ( 785 × 290 ) / 5
LCM(785,290) = 227650 / 5
LCM(785,290) = 45530
