Lets's calculate GCF of 53,77
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 480,3286
2 | 480, 3286 |
240, 1643 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 240 x 1643 = 788640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/788640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/480,77/3286 is 1/788640
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 480,3286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,3286) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,3286) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(480,3286) = ( 480 × 3286 ) / 2
LCM(480,3286) = 1577280 / 2
LCM(480,3286) = 788640
