Lets's calculate LCM of 318,720
2 | 318, 720 |
3 | 159, 360 |
53, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 53 x 120 = 38160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/38160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1377/318,3114/720 is 9/38160
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 318,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,720) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,720) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(318,720) = ( 318 × 720 ) / 6
LCM(318,720) = 228960 / 6
LCM(318,720) = 38160
