Lets's calculate LCM of 520,5967
13 | 520, 5967 |
40, 459 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 40 x 459 = 238680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/238680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/520,6494/5967 is 34/238680
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 520,5967 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,5967) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,5967) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(520,5967) = ( 520 × 5967 ) / 13
LCM(520,5967) = 3102840 / 13
LCM(520,5967) = 238680
