Lets's calculate LCM of 366,9660
2 | 366, 9660 |
3 | 183, 4830 |
61, 1610 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 61 x 1610 = 589260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/589260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2832/366,3140/9660 is 4/589260
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 366,9660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(366,9660) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(366,9660) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(366,9660) = ( 366 × 9660 ) / 6
LCM(366,9660) = 3535560 / 6
LCM(366,9660) = 589260
