So the greatest common factor 24,3708 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 360,7465
5 | 360, 7465 |
72, 1493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 72 x 1493 = 537480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/537480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/360,3708/7465 is 12/537480
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 360,7465 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(360,7465) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(360,7465) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(360,7465) = ( 360 × 7465 ) / 5
LCM(360,7465) = 2687400 / 5
LCM(360,7465) = 537480
