Lets's calculate GCF of 109,490
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 109
:1,109
Now, list down the factors of 490
:1,2,5,7,10,14,35,49,70,98,245,490
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 109,490 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 109,490 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,400
2 | 72, 400 |
2 | 36, 200 |
2 | 18, 100 |
9, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 50 = 3600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 109/72,490/400 is 1/3600
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 72,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,400) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,400) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,400) = ( 72 × 400 ) / 8
LCM(72,400) = 28800 / 8
LCM(72,400) = 3600
