:1,2,5,10,47,94,235,470
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 714,470 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 714,470 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,240
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 714/43,470/240 is 2/10320
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 43,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,240) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,240) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,240) = ( 43 × 240 ) / 1
LCM(43,240) = 10320 / 1
LCM(43,240) = 10320
