Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5642,5520 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5642,5520 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 640,1860
2 | 640, 1860 |
2 | 320, 930 |
5 | 160, 465 |
32, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 32 x 93 = 59520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/59520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5642/640,5520/1860 is 2/59520
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 640,1860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,1860) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,1860) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(640,1860) = ( 640 × 1860 ) / 20
LCM(640,1860) = 1190400 / 20
LCM(640,1860) = 59520
