1,2,797,1594
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 832,1594 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 832,1594 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,420
3 | 39, 420 |
13, 140 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 140 = 5460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 832/39,1594/420 is 2/5460
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 39,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,420) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,420) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,420) = ( 39 × 420 ) / 3
LCM(39,420) = 16380 / 3
LCM(39,420) = 5460
