So the greatest common factor 1605,9976 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 352,980
2 | 352, 980 |
2 | 176, 490 |
88, 245 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 88 x 245 = 86240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1605/352,9976/980 is 1/86240
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 352,980 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,980) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,980) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(352,980) = ( 352 × 980 ) / 4
LCM(352,980) = 344960 / 4
LCM(352,980) = 86240
