1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,29,40,58,80,116,145,232,290,464,580,1160,2320
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 480,2320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 480,2320 is 80.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,2410
2 | 724, 2410 |
362, 1205 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 362 x 1205 = 872420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 80/872420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/724,2320/2410 is 80/872420
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 724,2410 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,2410) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,2410) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(724,2410) = ( 724 × 2410 ) / 2
LCM(724,2410) = 1744840 / 2
LCM(724,2410) = 872420
