Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 560,9240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 560,9240 is 280.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,252
3 | 69, 252 |
23, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 84 = 5796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 280/5796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 560/69,9240/252 is 280/5796
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 69,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,252) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,252) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(69,252) = ( 69 × 252 ) / 3
LCM(69,252) = 17388 / 3
LCM(69,252) = 5796
