Lets's calculate LCM of 130,1260
2 | 130, 1260 |
5 | 65, 630 |
13, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 13 x 126 = 16380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 94/16380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5546/130,3572/1260 is 94/16380
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 130,1260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(130,1260) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(130,1260) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(130,1260) = ( 130 × 1260 ) / 10
LCM(130,1260) = 163800 / 10
LCM(130,1260) = 16380
