1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36,277,554,831,1108,1662,2493,3324,4986,9972
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5220,9972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5220,9972 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,680
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/21080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5220/31,9972/680 is 36/21080
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 31,680 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,680) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,680) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,680) = ( 31 × 680 ) / 1
LCM(31,680) = 21080 / 1
LCM(31,680) = 21080
