So the greatest common factor 1008,2624 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,840
3 | 429, 840 |
143, 280 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 143 x 280 = 120120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/120120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1008/429,2624/840 is 16/120120
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 429,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,840) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,840) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(429,840) = ( 429 × 840 ) / 3
LCM(429,840) = 360360 / 3
LCM(429,840) = 120120
