So the greatest common factor 7371,1317 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 790,480
2 | 790, 480 |
5 | 395, 240 |
79, 48 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 79 x 48 = 37920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/37920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7371/790,1317/480 is 3/37920
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 790,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(790,480) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(790,480) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(790,480) = ( 790 × 480 ) / 10
LCM(790,480) = 379200 / 10
LCM(790,480) = 37920
