So the greatest common factor 714,860 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 210,480
2 | 210, 480 |
3 | 105, 240 |
5 | 35, 80 |
7, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 16 = 3360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 714/210,860/480 is 2/3360
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 210,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(210,480) = 30
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(210,480) x common factors =30 x 1 = 30
LCM(210,480) = ( 210 × 480 ) / 30
LCM(210,480) = 100800 / 30
LCM(210,480) = 3360
