Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2020,2500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2020,2500 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 449,7236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3248964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/3248964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2020/449,2500/7236 is 20/3248964
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 449,7236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,7236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,7236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,7236) = ( 449 × 7236 ) / 1
LCM(449,7236) = 3248964 / 1
LCM(449,7236) = 3248964
