:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60,109,218,327,436,545,654,1090,1308,1635,2180,3270,6540
Now, list down the factors of 3800
:1,2,4,5,8,10,19,20,25,38,40,50,76,95,100,152,190,200,380,475,760,950,1900,3800
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6540,3800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6540,3800 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 407,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 207163
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/207163
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6540/407,3800/509 is 20/207163
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 407,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(407,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(407,509) = ( 407 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(407,509) = 207163 / 1
LCM(407,509) = 207163
