Lets's calculate LCM of 465,4660
5 | 465, 4660 |
93, 932 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 93 x 932 = 433380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/433380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1544/465,3540/4660 is 4/433380
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 465,4660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(465,4660) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(465,4660) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(465,4660) = ( 465 × 4660 ) / 5
LCM(465,4660) = 2166900 / 5
LCM(465,4660) = 433380
