So the greatest common factor 48,5260 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 115,3465
5 | 115, 3465 |
23, 693 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 23 x 693 = 79695
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/79695
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/115,5260/3465 is 4/79695
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 115,3465 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,3465) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,3465) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(115,3465) = ( 115 × 3465 ) / 5
LCM(115,3465) = 398475 / 5
LCM(115,3465) = 79695
