Lets's calculate LCM of 578,4070
2 | 578, 4070 |
289, 2035 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 289 x 2035 = 1176230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1176230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2331/578,9970/4070 is 1/1176230
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 578,4070 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,4070) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,4070) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(578,4070) = ( 578 × 4070 ) / 2
LCM(578,4070) = 2352460 / 2
LCM(578,4070) = 1176230
