Lets's calculate LCM of 960,306,960
2 | 960, 306, 960 |
2 | 480, 153, 480 |
2 | 240, 153, 240 |
2 | 120, 153, 120 |
2 | 60, 153, 60 |
2 | 30, 153, 30 |
3 | 15, 153, 15 |
5 | 5, 51, 5 |
1, 51, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 51 x 1 = 48960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 64/960,21/306,948/960 is 1/48960
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 960,306,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(960,306,960) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 960
GCF(960,306,960) x common factors =6 x 960 = 5760
LCM(960,306,960) = ( 960 × 306 × 960 ) / 5760
LCM(960,306,960) = 282009600 / 5760
LCM(960,306,960) = 48960
