So the greatest common factor 460,728 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 310,120
2 | 310, 120 |
5 | 155, 60 |
31, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 31 x 12 = 3720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 460/310,728/120 is 4/3720
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 310,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(310,120) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(310,120) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(310,120) = ( 310 × 120 ) / 10
LCM(310,120) = 37200 / 10
LCM(310,120) = 3720
