So the greatest common factor 7572,4448 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 360,2954
2 | 360, 2954 |
180, 1477 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 180 x 1477 = 531720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/531720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7572/360,4448/2954 is 4/531720
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 360,2954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(360,2954) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(360,2954) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(360,2954) = ( 360 × 2954 ) / 2
LCM(360,2954) = 1063440 / 2
LCM(360,2954) = 531720
