We found the factors 279,4030 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 279,4030 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 220,2046
2 | 220, 2046 |
11 | 110, 1023 |
10, 93 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 10 x 93 = 20460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/20460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/220,4030/2046 is 31/20460
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 220,2046 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,2046) = 22
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(220,2046) x common factors =22 x 1 = 22
LCM(220,2046) = ( 220 × 2046 ) / 22
LCM(220,2046) = 450120 / 22
LCM(220,2046) = 20460
