Lets's calculate LCM of 220,815
5 | 220, 815 |
44, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 44 x 163 = 35860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3242/220,2908/815 is 2/35860
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 220,815 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,815) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(220,815) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(220,815) = ( 220 × 815 ) / 5
LCM(220,815) = 179300 / 5
LCM(220,815) = 35860
