Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,1738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,1738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 401,2560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1026560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1026560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/401,1738/2560 is 1/1026560
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 401,2560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,2560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,2560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,2560) = ( 401 × 2560 ) / 1
LCM(401,2560) = 1026560 / 1
LCM(401,2560) = 1026560
