So the greatest common factor 2995,8074 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 312,300
2 | 312, 300 |
2 | 156, 150 |
3 | 78, 75 |
26, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 26 x 25 = 7800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2995/312,8074/300 is 1/7800
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 312,300 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(312,300) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(312,300) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(312,300) = ( 312 × 300 ) / 12
LCM(312,300) = 93600 / 12
LCM(312,300) = 7800
