So the greatest common factor 3036,3700 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 150,965
5 | 150, 965 |
30, 193 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 30 x 193 = 28950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/28950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3036/150,3700/965 is 4/28950
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 150,965 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(150,965) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(150,965) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(150,965) = ( 150 × 965 ) / 5
LCM(150,965) = 144750 / 5
LCM(150,965) = 28950
