We found the factors 3270,2430 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3270,2430 is 30.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,878
2 | 520, 878 |
260, 439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 260 x 439 = 228280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 30/228280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3270/520,2430/878 is 30/228280
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 520,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,878) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,878) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(520,878) = ( 520 × 878 ) / 2
LCM(520,878) = 456560 / 2
LCM(520,878) = 228280
