Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5640,4400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5640,4400 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,444
2 | 256, 444 |
2 | 128, 222 |
64, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 64 x 111 = 28416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/28416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5640/256,4400/444 is 40/28416
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 256,444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,444) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,444) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(256,444) = ( 256 × 444 ) / 4
LCM(256,444) = 113664 / 4
LCM(256,444) = 28416
