Lets's calculate LCM of 325,7520
5 | 325, 7520 |
65, 1504 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 65 x 1504 = 488800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/488800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1744/325,3984/7520 is 16/488800
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 325,7520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(325,7520) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(325,7520) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(325,7520) = ( 325 × 7520 ) / 5
LCM(325,7520) = 2444000 / 5
LCM(325,7520) = 488800
