Lets's calculate LCM of 968,5380
2 | 968, 5380 |
2 | 484, 2690 |
242, 1345 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 242 x 1345 = 1301960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1301960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3008/968,9904/5380 is 16/1301960
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 968,5380 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,5380) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,5380) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(968,5380) = ( 968 × 5380 ) / 4
LCM(968,5380) = 5207840 / 4
LCM(968,5380) = 1301960
