:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,43,50,86,100,172,215,430,860,1075,2150,4300
Now, list down the factors of 5900
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,59,100,118,236,295,590,1180,1475,2950,5900
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4300,5900 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4300,5900 is 100.
Lets's calculate LCM of 787,2850
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2242950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 100/2242950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4300/787,5900/2850 is 100/2242950
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 787,2850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,2850) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,2850) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,2850) = ( 787 × 2850 ) / 1
LCM(787,2850) = 2242950 / 1
LCM(787,2850) = 2242950
