So the greatest common factor 1568,4200 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,3060
3 | 873, 3060 |
3 | 291, 1020 |
97, 340 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 97 x 340 = 296820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/296820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1568/873,4200/3060 is 56/296820
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 873,3060 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,3060) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,3060) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(873,3060) = ( 873 × 3060 ) / 9
LCM(873,3060) = 2671380 / 9
LCM(873,3060) = 296820
