Lets's calculate LCM of 380,690
2 | 380, 690 |
5 | 190, 345 |
38, 69 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 38 x 69 = 26220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 178/380,584/690 is 2/26220
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 380,690 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(380,690) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(380,690) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(380,690) = ( 380 × 690 ) / 10
LCM(380,690) = 262200 / 10
LCM(380,690) = 26220
