So the greatest common factor 396,459 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,6720
2 | 18, 6720 |
3 | 9, 3360 |
3, 1120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 1120 = 20160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/20160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/18,459/6720 is 9/20160
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 18,6720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,6720) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,6720) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(18,6720) = ( 18 × 6720 ) / 6
LCM(18,6720) = 120960 / 6
LCM(18,6720) = 20160
