Lets's calculate LCM of 874,360
2 | 874, 360 |
437, 180 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 180 = 157320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/157320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1615/874,6486/360 is 1/157320
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 874,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,360) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,360) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,360) = ( 874 × 360 ) / 2
LCM(874,360) = 314640 / 2
LCM(874,360) = 157320
