So the greatest common factor 4705,3880 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 382,240
2 | 382, 240 |
191, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 191 x 120 = 45840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/45840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4705/382,3880/240 is 5/45840
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 382,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(382,240) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(382,240) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(382,240) = ( 382 × 240 ) / 2
LCM(382,240) = 91680 / 2
LCM(382,240) = 45840
