1,5,7,35,83,415,581,2905
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 560,2905 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 560,2905 is 35.
Lets's calculate LCM of 146,320
2 | 146, 320 |
73, 160 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 73 x 160 = 23360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 35/23360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 560/146,2905/320 is 35/23360
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 146,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,320) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,320) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(146,320) = ( 146 × 320 ) / 2
LCM(146,320) = 46720 / 2
LCM(146,320) = 23360
