Lets's calculate GCF of 441,980
7 | 441, 980 |
7 | 63, 140 |
9, 20 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 7 = 49
Now, list down the factors of 441
:1,3,7,9,21,49,63,147,441
Now, list down the factors of 980
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,49,70,98,140,196,245,490,980
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 441,980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 441,980 is 49.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6015
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/6015
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 441/15,980/401 is 49/6015
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 15,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,401) = ( 15 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(15,401) = 6015 / 1
LCM(15,401) = 6015
