So the greatest common factor 2990,9470 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 960,890
2 | 960, 890 |
5 | 480, 445 |
96, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 96 x 89 = 85440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/85440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2990/960,9470/890 is 10/85440
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 960,890 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(960,890) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(960,890) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(960,890) = ( 960 × 890 ) / 10
LCM(960,890) = 854400 / 10
LCM(960,890) = 85440
