Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6968,3440 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6968,3440 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 889,1520
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1351280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1351280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6968/889,3440/1520 is 8/1351280
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 889,1520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(889,1520) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(889,1520) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(889,1520) = ( 889 × 1520 ) / 1
LCM(889,1520) = 1351280 / 1
LCM(889,1520) = 1351280
