Lets's calculate GCF of 920,640
2 | 920, 640 |
2 | 460, 320 |
2 | 230, 160 |
5 | 115, 80 |
23, 16 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 40
Now, list down the factors of 920
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,23,40,46,92,115,184,230,460,920
Now, list down the factors of 640
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,64,80,128,160,320,640
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 920,640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 920,640 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,486
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19926
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/19926
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 920/41,640/486 is 40/19926
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 41,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,486) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,486) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,486) = ( 41 × 486 ) / 1
LCM(41,486) = 19926 / 1
LCM(41,486) = 19926
