Now, list down the factors of 140
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,140
Now, list down the factors of 962
:1,2,13,26,37,74,481,962
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 140,962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 140,962 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 90,899
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80910
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/80910
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 140/90,962/899 is 2/80910
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 90,899 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(90,899) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(90,899) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(90,899) = ( 90 × 899 ) / 1
LCM(90,899) = 80910 / 1
LCM(90,899) = 80910
