Lets's calculate LCM of 960,9000
2 | 960, 9000 |
2 | 480, 4500 |
2 | 240, 2250 |
3 | 120, 1125 |
5 | 40, 375 |
8, 75 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 8 x 75 = 72000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/72000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3957/960,4548/9000 is 3/72000
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 960,9000 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(960,9000) = 120
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(960,9000) x common factors =120 x 1 = 120
LCM(960,9000) = ( 960 × 9000 ) / 120
LCM(960,9000) = 8640000 / 120
LCM(960,9000) = 72000
