Lets's calculate LCM of 480,100
2 | 480, 100 |
2 | 240, 50 |
5 | 120, 25 |
24, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 24 x 5 = 2400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3518/480,3548/100 is 2/2400
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 480,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,100) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,100) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(480,100) = ( 480 × 100 ) / 20
LCM(480,100) = 48000 / 20
LCM(480,100) = 2400
