The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
The HCF of 14,40 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,40
2 | 14, 40 |
7, 20 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 14
:1,2,7,14
Now, list down the factors of 40
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,40 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,40 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 161,4399
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 708239
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/708239
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/161,40/4399 is 2/708239
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 161,4399 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,4399) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,4399) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,4399) = ( 161 × 4399 ) / 1
LCM(161,4399) = 708239 / 1
LCM(161,4399) = 708239
