We found the factors 490,630 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,630 is 70.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1600,2560
2 | 1600, 2560 |
2 | 800, 1280 |
2 | 400, 640 |
2 | 200, 320 |
2 | 100, 160 |
2 | 50, 80 |
5 | 25, 40 |
5, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 8 = 12800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 70/12800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/1600,630/2560 is 70/12800
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 1600,2560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1600,2560) = 320
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1600,2560) x common factors =320 x 1 = 320
LCM(1600,2560) = ( 1600 × 2560 ) / 320
LCM(1600,2560) = 4096000 / 320
LCM(1600,2560) = 12800
