:1,5,7,11,35,55,77,385
Now, list down the factors of 720
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,48,60,72,80,90,120,144,180,240,360,720
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 385,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 385,720 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 652,950
| 2 | 652, 950 |
| 326, 475 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 326 x 475 = 309700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/309700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/652,720/950 is 5/309700
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 652,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(652,950) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(652,950) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(652,950) = ( 652 × 950 ) / 2
LCM(652,950) = 619400 / 2
LCM(652,950) = 309700
