Lets's calculate LCM of 560,468
2 | 560, 468 |
2 | 280, 234 |
140, 117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 140 x 117 = 65520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/65520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 403/560,8940/468 is 1/65520
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 560,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(560,468) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(560,468) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(560,468) = ( 560 × 468 ) / 4
LCM(560,468) = 262080 / 4
LCM(560,468) = 65520
