437, 2460 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 2460 = 2150040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/2150040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/874,3553/4920 is 11/2150040
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 874,4920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,4920) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,4920) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,4920) = ( 874 × 4920 ) / 2
LCM(874,4920) = 4300080 / 2
LCM(874,4920) = 2150040
