Lets's calculate LCM of 520,742
2 | 520, 742 |
260, 371 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 260 x 371 = 192920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/192920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 620/520,2612/742 is 4/192920
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 520,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,742) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,742) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(520,742) = ( 520 × 742 ) / 2
LCM(520,742) = 385840 / 2
LCM(520,742) = 192920
