We found the factors 8550,8735 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8550,8735 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 720,2656
2 | 720, 2656 |
2 | 360, 1328 |
2 | 180, 664 |
2 | 90, 332 |
45, 166 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 45 x 166 = 119520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/119520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8550/720,8735/2656 is 5/119520
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 720,2656 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,2656) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,2656) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(720,2656) = ( 720 × 2656 ) / 16
LCM(720,2656) = 1912320 / 16
LCM(720,2656) = 119520
