Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5304,8960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5304,8960 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,266
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5304/15,8960/266 is 8/3990
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 15,266 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,266) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,266) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,266) = ( 15 × 266 ) / 1
LCM(15,266) = 3990 / 1
LCM(15,266) = 3990
