Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3966,6082 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3966,6082 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 260,264
2 | 260, 264 |
2 | 130, 132 |
65, 66 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 65 x 66 = 17160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3966/260,6082/264 is 2/17160
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 260,264 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(260,264) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(260,264) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(260,264) = ( 260 × 264 ) / 4
LCM(260,264) = 68640 / 4
LCM(260,264) = 17160
