Lets's calculate LCM of 480,4332
2 | 480, 4332 |
2 | 240, 2166 |
3 | 120, 1083 |
40, 361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 40 x 361 = 173280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/173280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5918/480,4730/4332 is 22/173280
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 480,4332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,4332) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,4332) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(480,4332) = ( 480 × 4332 ) / 12
LCM(480,4332) = 2079360 / 12
LCM(480,4332) = 173280
