Lets's calculate LCM of 120,6000
2 | 120, 6000 |
2 | 60, 3000 |
2 | 30, 1500 |
3 | 15, 750 |
5 | 5, 250 |
1, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 50 = 6000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/6000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4949/120,3332/6000 is 49/6000
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 120,6000 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(120,6000) = 120
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(120,6000) x common factors =120 x 1 = 120
LCM(120,6000) = ( 120 × 6000 ) / 120
LCM(120,6000) = 720000 / 120
LCM(120,6000) = 6000
