So the greatest common factor 3660,8391 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 636,450
2 | 636, 450 |
3 | 318, 225 |
106, 75 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 106 x 75 = 47700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/47700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3660/636,8391/450 is 3/47700
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 636,450 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,450) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,450) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(636,450) = ( 636 × 450 ) / 6
LCM(636,450) = 286200 / 6
LCM(636,450) = 47700
