Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 326,3206 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 326,3206 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 640,720
2 | 640, 720 |
2 | 320, 360 |
2 | 160, 180 |
2 | 80, 90 |
5 | 40, 45 |
8, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 8 x 9 = 5760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 326/640,3206/720 is 2/5760
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 640,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,720) = 80
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,720) x common factors =80 x 1 = 80
LCM(640,720) = ( 640 × 720 ) / 80
LCM(640,720) = 460800 / 80
LCM(640,720) = 5760
