Lets's calculate LCM of 486,540
2 | 486, 540 |
3 | 243, 270 |
3 | 81, 90 |
3 | 27, 30 |
9, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 9 x 10 = 4860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 566/486,987/540 is 1/4860
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 486,540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,540) = 54
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,540) x common factors =54 x 1 = 54
LCM(486,540) = ( 486 × 540 ) / 54
LCM(486,540) = 262440 / 54
LCM(486,540) = 4860
