1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,17,20,30,34,51,60,68,85,102,170,204,255,340,510,1020
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 731,1020 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 731,1020 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 965,285
5 | 965, 285 |
193, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 193 x 57 = 55005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/55005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/965,1020/285 is 17/55005
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 965,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(965,285) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(965,285) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(965,285) = ( 965 × 285 ) / 5
LCM(965,285) = 275025 / 5
LCM(965,285) = 55005
