So the greatest common factor 6015,2970 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,6800
2 | 402, 6800 |
201, 3400 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 201 x 3400 = 1366800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/1366800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6015/402,2970/6800 is 15/1366800
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 402,6800 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,6800) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,6800) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(402,6800) = ( 402 × 6800 ) / 2
LCM(402,6800) = 2733600 / 2
LCM(402,6800) = 1366800
