Lets's calculate LCM of 490,1020
2 | 490, 1020 |
5 | 245, 510 |
49, 102 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 49 x 102 = 49980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/49980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2512/490,3786/1020 is 2/49980
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 490,1020 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(490,1020) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(490,1020) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(490,1020) = ( 490 × 1020 ) / 10
LCM(490,1020) = 499800 / 10
LCM(490,1020) = 49980
