Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 289,170 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 289,170 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 6100,5600
2 | 6100, 5600 |
2 | 3050, 2800 |
5 | 1525, 1400 |
5 | 305, 280 |
61, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 61 x 56 = 341600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/341600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 289/6100,170/5600 is 17/341600
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 6100,5600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(6100,5600) = 100
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(6100,5600) x common factors =100 x 1 = 100
LCM(6100,5600) = ( 6100 × 5600 ) / 100
LCM(6100,5600) = 34160000 / 100
LCM(6100,5600) = 341600
