List of positive integer factors of 940 that divides 940 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,47,94,188,235,470,940
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 990,940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 990,940 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,224
2 | 84, 224 |
2 | 42, 112 |
7 | 21, 56 |
3, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 3 x 8 = 672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 990/84,940/224 is 10/672
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 84,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,224) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,224) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(84,224) = ( 84 × 224 ) / 28
LCM(84,224) = 18816 / 28
LCM(84,224) = 672
