Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5587,2880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5587,2880 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 920,986
2 | 920, 986 |
460, 493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 460 x 493 = 453560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/453560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5587/920,2880/986 is 1/453560
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 920,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(920,986) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(920,986) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(920,986) = ( 920 × 986 ) / 2
LCM(920,986) = 907120 / 2
LCM(920,986) = 453560
