So the greatest common factor 120,7210 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 536,680
2 | 536, 680 |
2 | 268, 340 |
2 | 134, 170 |
67, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 67 x 85 = 45560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/45560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/536,7210/680 is 10/45560
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 536,680 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,680) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,680) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(536,680) = ( 536 × 680 ) / 8
LCM(536,680) = 364480 / 8
LCM(536,680) = 45560
