Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 579,9960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 579,9960 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 600,734
2 | 600, 734 |
300, 367 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 300 x 367 = 220200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/220200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 579/600,9960/734 is 3/220200
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 600,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,734) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(600,734) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(600,734) = ( 600 × 734 ) / 2
LCM(600,734) = 440400 / 2
LCM(600,734) = 220200
