Lets's calculate LCM of 270,3598
2 | 270, 3598 |
135, 1799 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 135 x 1799 = 485730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 186/485730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4278/270,6882/3598 is 186/485730
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 270,3598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(270,3598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(270,3598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(270,3598) = ( 270 × 3598 ) / 2
LCM(270,3598) = 971460 / 2
LCM(270,3598) = 485730
