Lets's calculate LCM of 451,3245
11 | 451, 3245 |
41, 295 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 41 x 295 = 133045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/133045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1956/451,5420/3245 is 4/133045
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 451,3245 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(451,3245) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(451,3245) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(451,3245) = ( 451 × 3245 ) / 11
LCM(451,3245) = 1463495 / 11
LCM(451,3245) = 133045
