Lets's calculate LCM of 888,8520
2 | 888, 8520 |
2 | 444, 4260 |
2 | 222, 2130 |
3 | 111, 1065 |
37, 355 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 37 x 355 = 315240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/315240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 634/888,5560/8520 is 2/315240
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 888,8520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,8520) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,8520) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(888,8520) = ( 888 × 8520 ) / 24
LCM(888,8520) = 7565760 / 24
LCM(888,8520) = 315240
