Lets's calculate LCM of 830,490
2 | 830, 490 |
5 | 415, 245 |
83, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 83 x 49 = 40670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 603/830,278/490 is 1/40670
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 830,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(830,490) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(830,490) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(830,490) = ( 830 × 490 ) / 10
LCM(830,490) = 406700 / 10
LCM(830,490) = 40670
