1,2,4,11,22,29,44,58,116,319,638,1276
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 158,1276 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 158,1276 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 454,560
2 | 454, 560 |
227, 280 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 227 x 280 = 127120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/127120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/454,1276/560 is 2/127120
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 454,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(454,560) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(454,560) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(454,560) = ( 454 × 560 ) / 2
LCM(454,560) = 254240 / 2
LCM(454,560) = 127120
