Lets's calculate GCF of 440,540
2 | 440, 540 |
2 | 220, 270 |
5 | 110, 135 |
22, 27 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20
Now, list down the factors of 440
:1,2,4,5,8,10,11,20,22,40,44,55,88,110,220,440
Now, list down the factors of 540
:1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,27,30,36,45,54,60,90,108,135,180,270,540
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 440,540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 440,540 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,898
2 | 22, 898 |
11, 449 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 449 = 9878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/9878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 440/22,540/898 is 20/9878
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 22,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,898) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,898) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(22,898) = ( 22 × 898 ) / 2
LCM(22,898) = 19756 / 2
LCM(22,898) = 9878
