So the greatest common factor 5730,8300 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,158
| 2 | 320, 158 |
| 160, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 160 x 79 = 25280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/25280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5730/320,8300/158 is 10/25280
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 320,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,158) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,158) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(320,158) = ( 320 × 158 ) / 2
LCM(320,158) = 50560 / 2
LCM(320,158) = 25280
