Lets's calculate GCF of 617,401
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 617
:1,617
Now, list down the factors of 401
:1,401
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 617,401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 617,401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,422
2 | 20, 422 |
10, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 10 x 211 = 4220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 617/20,401/422 is 1/4220
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 20,422 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,422) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,422) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(20,422) = ( 20 × 422 ) / 2
LCM(20,422) = 8440 / 2
LCM(20,422) = 4220
