Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 462,7840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 462,7840 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,340
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/19380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/57,7840/340 is 14/19380
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 57,340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,340) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,340) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,340) = ( 57 × 340 ) / 1
LCM(57,340) = 19380 / 1
LCM(57,340) = 19380
