Lets's calculate LCM of 880,482
2 | 880, 482 |
440, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 440 x 241 = 212080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/212080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3017/880,3642/482 is 1/212080
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 880,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(880,482) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(880,482) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(880,482) = ( 880 × 482 ) / 2
LCM(880,482) = 424160 / 2
LCM(880,482) = 212080
