Lets's calculate GCF of 440,231
11 | 440, 231 |
40, 21 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
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 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 440,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 440,231 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,845
5 | 60, 845 |
12, 169 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 12 x 169 = 10140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/10140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 440/60,231/845 is 11/10140
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 60,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,845) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,845) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(60,845) = ( 60 × 845 ) / 5
LCM(60,845) = 50700 / 5
LCM(60,845) = 10140
