So the greatest common factor 1589,1640 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 434,620
2 | 434, 620 |
31 | 217, 310 |
7, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 7 x 10 = 4340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1589/434,1640/620 is 1/4340
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 434,620 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(434,620) = 62
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(434,620) x common factors =62 x 1 = 62
LCM(434,620) = ( 434 × 620 ) / 62
LCM(434,620) = 269080 / 62
LCM(434,620) = 4340
