So the greatest common factor 3260,1720 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 752,4850
2 | 752, 4850 |
376, 2425 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 376 x 2425 = 1823600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/1823600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3260/752,1720/4850 is 20/1823600
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 752,4850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(752,4850) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(752,4850) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(752,4850) = ( 752 × 4850 ) / 2
LCM(752,4850) = 3647200 / 2
LCM(752,4850) = 1823600
