Lets's calculate LCM of 480,8052
2 | 480, 8052 |
2 | 240, 4026 |
3 | 120, 2013 |
40, 671 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 40 x 671 = 322080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/322080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4604/480,7236/8052 is 4/322080
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 480,8052 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,8052) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,8052) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(480,8052) = ( 480 × 8052 ) / 12
LCM(480,8052) = 3864960 / 12
LCM(480,8052) = 322080
