So the greatest common factor 703,503 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 480,840
2 | 480, 840 |
2 | 240, 420 |
2 | 120, 210 |
3 | 60, 105 |
5 | 20, 35 |
4, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 7 = 3360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 703/480,503/840 is 1/3360
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 480,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,840) = 120
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,840) x common factors =120 x 1 = 120
LCM(480,840) = ( 480 × 840 ) / 120
LCM(480,840) = 403200 / 120
LCM(480,840) = 3360
