1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,48,60,72,80,90,120,144,180,240,360,720
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 514,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 514,720 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,2832
3 | 15, 2832 |
5, 944 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 944 = 14160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 514/15,720/2832 is 2/14160
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 15,2832 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,2832) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,2832) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,2832) = ( 15 × 2832 ) / 3
LCM(15,2832) = 42480 / 3
LCM(15,2832) = 14160
