So the greatest common factor 220,8834 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,404
2 | 400, 404 |
2 | 200, 202 |
100, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 100 x 101 = 40400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/40400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 220/400,8834/404 is 2/40400
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 400,404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,404) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,404) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(400,404) = ( 400 × 404 ) / 4
LCM(400,404) = 161600 / 4
LCM(400,404) = 40400
