Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 740,4320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 740,4320 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 905,415
5 | 905, 415 |
181, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 181 x 83 = 75115
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/75115
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/905,4320/415 is 20/75115
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 905,415 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(905,415) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(905,415) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(905,415) = ( 905 × 415 ) / 5
LCM(905,415) = 375575 / 5
LCM(905,415) = 75115
