2 | 640, 9156 |
2 | 320, 4578 |
160, 2289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 160 x 2289 = 1464960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1464960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2947/640,7285/9156 is 1/1464960
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 640,9156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,9156) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,9156) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(640,9156) = ( 640 × 9156 ) / 4
LCM(640,9156) = 5859840 / 4
LCM(640,9156) = 1464960
