:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,80,160
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 520,160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 520,160 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,636
2 | 334, 636 |
167, 318 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 318 = 106212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/106212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/334,160/636 is 40/106212
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 334,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,636) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,636) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,636) = ( 334 × 636 ) / 2
LCM(334,636) = 212424 / 2
LCM(334,636) = 106212
