Lets's calculate LCM of 260,324
2 | 260, 324 |
2 | 130, 162 |
65, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 65 x 81 = 21060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 787/260,738/324 is 1/21060
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 260,324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(260,324) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(260,324) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(260,324) = ( 260 × 324 ) / 4
LCM(260,324) = 84240 / 4
LCM(260,324) = 21060
