Lets's calculate LCM of 258,5800
2 | 258, 5800 |
129, 2900 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 129 x 2900 = 748200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/748200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5048/258,3360/5800 is 8/748200
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 258,5800 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,5800) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,5800) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(258,5800) = ( 258 × 5800 ) / 2
LCM(258,5800) = 1496400 / 2
LCM(258,5800) = 748200
