So the greatest common factor 7344,3582 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 320,905
5 | 320, 905 |
64, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 64 x 181 = 57920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/57920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7344/320,3582/905 is 18/57920
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 320,905 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,905) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,905) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(320,905) = ( 320 × 905 ) / 5
LCM(320,905) = 289600 / 5
LCM(320,905) = 57920
