Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 425,1087 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 425,1087 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,446
2 | 280, 446 |
140, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 140 x 223 = 62440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 425/280,1087/446 is 1/62440
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 280,446 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,446) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,446) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(280,446) = ( 280 × 446 ) / 2
LCM(280,446) = 124880 / 2
LCM(280,446) = 62440
