:1,797
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 395,797 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 395,797 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,100
2 | 400, 100 |
2 | 200, 50 |
5 | 100, 25 |
5 | 20, 5 |
4, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 4 x 1 = 400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 395/400,797/100 is 1/400
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 400,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,100) = 100
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,100) x common factors =100 x 1 = 100
LCM(400,100) = ( 400 × 100 ) / 100
LCM(400,100) = 40000 / 100
LCM(400,100) = 400
