Now, list down the factors of 2240
:1,2,4,5,7,8,10,14,16,20,28,32,35,40,56,64,70,80,112,140,160,224,280,320,448,560,1120,2240
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4900,2240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4900,2240 is 140.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,124
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 140/16244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4900/131,2240/124 is 140/16244
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 131,124 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,124) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,124) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,124) = ( 131 × 124 ) / 1
LCM(131,124) = 16244 / 1
LCM(131,124) = 16244
