2 | 720, 500 |
2 | 360, 250 |
5 | 180, 125 |
36, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20
Now, list down the factors of 720
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,48,60,72,80,90,120,144,180,240,360,720
Now, list down the factors of 500
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 720,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 720,500 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 709,452
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 320468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/320468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 720/709,500/452 is 20/320468
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 709,452 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(709,452) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(709,452) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(709,452) = ( 709 × 452 ) / 1
LCM(709,452) = 320468 / 1
LCM(709,452) = 320468
