Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6117,6240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6117,6240 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 226,540
2 | 226, 540 |
113, 270 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 113 x 270 = 61020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/61020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6117/226,6240/540 is 3/61020
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 226,540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(226,540) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(226,540) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(226,540) = ( 226 × 540 ) / 2
LCM(226,540) = 122040 / 2
LCM(226,540) = 61020
