Now, list down the factors of 3685
:1,5,11,55,67,335,737,3685
Now, list down the factors of 2000
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,40,50,80,100,125,200,250,400,500,1000,2000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3685,2000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3685,2000 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 882,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 433062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/433062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3685/882,2000/491 is 5/433062
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 882,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(882,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(882,491) = ( 882 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(882,491) = 433062 / 1
LCM(882,491) = 433062
