Lets's calculate LCM of 820,580
2 | 820, 580 |
2 | 410, 290 |
5 | 205, 145 |
41, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 41 x 29 = 23780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 187/23780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 748/820,187/580 is 187/23780
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 820,580 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(820,580) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(820,580) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(820,580) = ( 820 × 580 ) / 20
LCM(820,580) = 475600 / 20
LCM(820,580) = 23780
