Yes, since 350 and 840 are NOT relatively prime. 350/840 will be reduced to 5/12.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Let's take a look at 840. Its factors are numbers that can be multiplied together to give 840, like 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. The prime factors are the factors that are also prime numbers, like 2, 3, 5, and 7. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, understanding factors can help us see the beauty in numbers!

Well, let's paint a happy little picture with prime numbers! To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12, 28, and 40, we first break down each number into its prime factors: 12 = 2^2 * 3, 28 = 2^2 * 7, and 40 = 2^3 * 5. Then, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers, which gives us 2^3 * 3 * 5 * 7 = 840. So, the LCM of 12, 28, and 40 using prime numbers is 840.
The longest factor string for 840 is its prime factorization because prime factors can't be broken down any further.
840 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 840
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 7
Find one factor, divide by it to get the other factor. Continue separating each of the factors into smaller factors, until you only have prime numbers. For example, 840 = 2 x 420. Now continue finding smaller factors for 420.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 27,000
The prime factors are: 2,3,5,7
