Lets's calculate LCM of 297,360
3 | 297, 360 |
3 | 99, 120 |
33, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 33 x 40 = 11880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/11880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 704/297,876/360 is 4/11880
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 297,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,360) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,360) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(297,360) = ( 297 × 360 ) / 9
LCM(297,360) = 106920 / 9
LCM(297,360) = 11880
