Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8940,8720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8940,8720 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,622
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/13062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8940/21,8720/622 is 20/13062
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 21,622 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,622) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,622) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,622) = ( 21 × 622 ) / 1
LCM(21,622) = 13062 / 1
LCM(21,622) = 13062
