Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8544,3331 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8544,3331 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 183,240
3 | 183, 240 |
61, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 61 x 80 = 14640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8544/183,3331/240 is 1/14640
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 183,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(183,240) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(183,240) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(183,240) = ( 183 × 240 ) / 3
LCM(183,240) = 43920 / 3
LCM(183,240) = 14640
