Lets's calculate LCM of 540,9944
2 | 540, 9944 |
2 | 270, 4972 |
135, 2486 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 135 x 2486 = 1342440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1342440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4720/540,1445/9944 is 5/1342440
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 540,9944 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,9944) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,9944) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(540,9944) = ( 540 × 9944 ) / 4
LCM(540,9944) = 5369760 / 4
LCM(540,9944) = 1342440
