So the greatest common factor 5304,6236 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 147,180
3 | 147, 180 |
49, 60 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 49 x 60 = 8820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/8820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5304/147,6236/180 is 4/8820
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 147,180 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,180) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,180) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(147,180) = ( 147 × 180 ) / 3
LCM(147,180) = 26460 / 3
LCM(147,180) = 8820
