Lets's calculate LCM of 48,3620
2 | 48, 3620 |
2 | 24, 1810 |
12, 905 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 12 x 905 = 43440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/43440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/48,698/3620 is 2/43440
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 48,3620 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,3620) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,3620) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(48,3620) = ( 48 × 3620 ) / 4
LCM(48,3620) = 173760 / 4
LCM(48,3620) = 43440
