1,2,4,8,16,32,127,254,508,1016,2032,4064
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1264,4064 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1264,4064 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,960
2 | 40, 960 |
2 | 20, 480 |
2 | 10, 240 |
5 | 5, 120 |
1, 24 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 24 = 960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1264/40,4064/960 is 16/960
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 40,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,960) = 40
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,960) x common factors =40 x 1 = 40
LCM(40,960) = ( 40 × 960 ) / 40
LCM(40,960) = 38400 / 40
LCM(40,960) = 960
