1,5,389,1945
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4960,1945 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4960,1945 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,180
3 | 87, 180 |
29, 60 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 60 = 5220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/5220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4960/87,1945/180 is 5/5220
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 87,180 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,180) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,180) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,180) = ( 87 × 180 ) / 3
LCM(87,180) = 15660 / 3
LCM(87,180) = 5220
