Lets's calculate GCF of 29,77
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 955,3960
5 | 955, 3960 |
191, 792 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 191 x 792 = 756360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/756360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/955,77/3960 is 1/756360
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 955,3960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(955,3960) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(955,3960) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(955,3960) = ( 955 × 3960 ) / 5
LCM(955,3960) = 3781800 / 5
LCM(955,3960) = 756360
