2 | 14, 28 |
7 | 7, 14 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 14
:1,2,7,14
Now, list down the factors of 28
:1,2,4,7,14,28
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,28 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,28 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,1792
2 | 440, 1792 |
2 | 220, 896 |
2 | 110, 448 |
55, 224 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 55 x 224 = 98560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/98560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/440,28/1792 is 14/98560
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 440,1792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,1792) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,1792) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(440,1792) = ( 440 × 1792 ) / 8
LCM(440,1792) = 788480 / 8
LCM(440,1792) = 98560
