Lets's calculate LCM of 930,580
2 | 930, 580 |
5 | 465, 290 |
93, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 93 x 58 = 53940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7124/930,6978/580 is 2/53940
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 930,580 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(930,580) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(930,580) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(930,580) = ( 930 × 580 ) / 10
LCM(930,580) = 539400 / 10
LCM(930,580) = 53940
