Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 990,8720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 990,8720 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,292
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/8468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 990/29,8720/292 is 10/8468
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 29,292 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,292) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,292) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,292) = ( 29 × 292 ) / 1
LCM(29,292) = 8468 / 1
LCM(29,292) = 8468
