Lets's calculate GCF of 620,845
5 | 620, 845 |
124, 169 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 620
:1,2,4,5,10,20,31,62,124,155,310,620
Now, list down the factors of 845
:1,5,13,65,169,845
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 620,845 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 620,845 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 160,320
2 | 160, 320 |
2 | 80, 160 |
2 | 40, 80 |
2 | 20, 40 |
2 | 10, 20 |
5 | 5, 10 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 2 = 320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 620/160,845/320 is 5/320
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 160,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,320) = 160
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,320) x common factors =160 x 1 = 160
LCM(160,320) = ( 160 × 320 ) / 160
LCM(160,320) = 51200 / 160
LCM(160,320) = 320
