We found the factors 896,980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 896,980 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,9650
2 | 40, 9650 |
5 | 20, 4825 |
4, 965 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 4 x 965 = 38600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/38600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/40,980/9650 is 28/38600
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 40,9650 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,9650) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,9650) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(40,9650) = ( 40 × 9650 ) / 10
LCM(40,9650) = 386000 / 10
LCM(40,9650) = 38600
