So the greatest common factor 520,286 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 783,960
3 | 783, 960 |
261, 320 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 261 x 320 = 250560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/250560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/783,286/960 is 26/250560
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 783,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(783,960) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(783,960) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(783,960) = ( 783 × 960 ) / 3
LCM(783,960) = 751680 / 3
LCM(783,960) = 250560
