Lets's calculate LCM of 920,4669
23 | 920, 4669 |
40, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 40 x 203 = 186760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/186760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2988/920,1161/4669 is 9/186760
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 920,4669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(920,4669) = 23
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(920,4669) x common factors =23 x 1 = 23
LCM(920,4669) = ( 920 × 4669 ) / 23
LCM(920,4669) = 4295480 / 23
LCM(920,4669) = 186760
