2 | 230, 360 |
5 | 115, 180 |
23, 36 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20
Now, list down the factors of 460
:1,2,4,5,10,20,23,46,92,115,230,460
Now, list down the factors of 720
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,48,60,72,80,90,120,144,180,240,360,720
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 460,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 460,720 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,4640
5 | 25, 4640 |
5, 928 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 928 = 23200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/23200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 460/25,720/4640 is 20/23200
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 25,4640 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,4640) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,4640) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(25,4640) = ( 25 × 4640 ) / 5
LCM(25,4640) = 116000 / 5
LCM(25,4640) = 23200
