Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6888,8540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6888,8540 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 130,294
2 | 130, 294 |
65, 147 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 65 x 147 = 19110
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/19110
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6888/130,8540/294 is 28/19110
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 130,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(130,294) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(130,294) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(130,294) = ( 130 × 294 ) / 2
LCM(130,294) = 38220 / 2
LCM(130,294) = 19110
