∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
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 486
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162,243,486
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 440,486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 440,486 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 49495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/49495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 440/95,486/521 is 2/49495
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 95,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,521) = ( 95 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(95,521) = 49495 / 1
LCM(95,521) = 49495
