2 | 384, 5970 |
3 | 192, 2985 |
64, 995 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 64 x 995 = 382080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/382080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6969/384,2994/5970 is 3/382080
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 384,5970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(384,5970) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(384,5970) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(384,5970) = ( 384 × 5970 ) / 6
LCM(384,5970) = 2292480 / 6
LCM(384,5970) = 382080
