Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 950,5640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 950,5640 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,720
2 | 250, 720 |
5 | 125, 360 |
25, 72 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 25 x 72 = 18000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/18000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/250,5640/720 is 10/18000
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 250,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,720) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,720) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(250,720) = ( 250 × 720 ) / 10
LCM(250,720) = 180000 / 10
LCM(250,720) = 18000
