Lets's calculate LCM of 950,405
5 | 950, 405 |
190, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 190 x 81 = 76950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/76950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 548/950,942/405 is 2/76950
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 950,405 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(950,405) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(950,405) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(950,405) = ( 950 × 405 ) / 5
LCM(950,405) = 384750 / 5
LCM(950,405) = 76950
