Lets's calculate LCM of 304,5720
2 | 304, 5720 |
2 | 152, 2860 |
2 | 76, 1430 |
38, 715 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 38 x 715 = 217360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 59/217360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3422/304,7493/5720 is 59/217360
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 304,5720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,5720) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,5720) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(304,5720) = ( 304 × 5720 ) / 8
LCM(304,5720) = 1738880 / 8
LCM(304,5720) = 217360
