Lets's calculate GCF of 880,920
2 | 880, 920 |
2 | 440, 460 |
2 | 220, 230 |
5 | 110, 115 |
22, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 40
Now, list down the factors of 880
:1,2,4,5,8,10,11,16,20,22,40,44,55,80,88,110,176,220,440,880
Now, list down the factors of 920
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,23,40,46,92,115,184,230,460,920
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 880,920 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 880,920 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,396
2 | 40, 396 |
2 | 20, 198 |
10, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 99 = 3960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/3960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 880/40,920/396 is 40/3960
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 40,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,396) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,396) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,396) = ( 40 × 396 ) / 4
LCM(40,396) = 15840 / 4
LCM(40,396) = 3960
