Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 898,7880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 898,7880 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,788
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 898/21,7880/788 is 2/16548
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 21,788 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,788) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,788) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,788) = ( 21 × 788 ) / 1
LCM(21,788) = 16548 / 1
LCM(21,788) = 16548
