Now, list down the factors of 2640
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,11,12,15,16,20,22,24,30,33,40,44,48,55,60,66,80,88,110,120,132,165,176,220,240,264,330,440,528,660,880,1320,2640
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 200,2640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 200,2640 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 615,596
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 366540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/366540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 200/615,2640/596 is 40/366540
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 615,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(615,596) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(615,596) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(615,596) = ( 615 × 596 ) / 1
LCM(615,596) = 366540 / 1
LCM(615,596) = 366540
