Lets's calculate LCM of 160,260
2 | 160, 260 |
2 | 80, 130 |
5 | 40, 65 |
8, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 8 x 13 = 2080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7434/160,6232/260 is 2/2080
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 160,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,260) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,260) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(160,260) = ( 160 × 260 ) / 20
LCM(160,260) = 41600 / 20
LCM(160,260) = 2080
