Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,2160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,2160 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 306,469
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143514
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/143514
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/306,2160/469 is 10/143514
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 306,469 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(306,469) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(306,469) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(306,469) = ( 306 × 469 ) / 1
LCM(306,469) = 143514 / 1
LCM(306,469) = 143514
