Lets's calculate LCM of 320,484
2 | 320, 484 |
2 | 160, 242 |
80, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 80 x 121 = 38720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1438/320,5509/484 is 1/38720
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 320,484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,484) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,484) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(320,484) = ( 320 × 484 ) / 4
LCM(320,484) = 154880 / 4
LCM(320,484) = 38720
