So the greatest common factor 378,150 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 612,520
2 | 612, 520 |
2 | 306, 260 |
153, 130 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 153 x 130 = 79560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/79560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 378/612,150/520 is 6/79560
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 612,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(612,520) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(612,520) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(612,520) = ( 612 × 520 ) / 4
LCM(612,520) = 318240 / 4
LCM(612,520) = 79560
