:1,2,4,5,7,8,10,14,20,25,28,35,40,50,56,70,100,125,140,175,200,250,280,350,500,700,875,1000,1400,1750,3500,7000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4000,7000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4000,7000 is 1000.
Lets's calculate LCM of 889,7209
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6408801
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1000/6408801
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4000/889,7000/7209 is 1000/6408801
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 889,7209 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(889,7209) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(889,7209) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(889,7209) = ( 889 × 7209 ) / 1
LCM(889,7209) = 6408801 / 1
LCM(889,7209) = 6408801
