Lets's calculate LCM of 82,460
2 | 82, 460 |
41, 230 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 230 = 18860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/82,462/460 is 1/18860
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 82,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,460) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,460) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,460) = ( 82 × 460 ) / 2
LCM(82,460) = 37720 / 2
LCM(82,460) = 18860
