Lets's calculate LCM of 240,288
2 | 240, 288 |
2 | 120, 144 |
2 | 60, 72 |
2 | 30, 36 |
3 | 15, 18 |
5, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 6 = 1440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 631/240,885/288 is 1/1440
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 240,288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,288) = 48
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,288) x common factors =48 x 1 = 48
LCM(240,288) = ( 240 × 288 ) / 48
LCM(240,288) = 69120 / 48
LCM(240,288) = 1440
