Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 420,1070 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 420,1070 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 792,518
2 | 792, 518 |
396, 259 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 396 x 259 = 205128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/205128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/792,1070/518 is 10/205128
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 792,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(792,518) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(792,518) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(792,518) = ( 792 × 518 ) / 2
LCM(792,518) = 410256 / 2
LCM(792,518) = 205128
