Lets's calculate LCM of 362,960
2 | 362, 960 |
181, 480 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 480 = 173760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 821/362,4486/960 is 1/173760
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 362,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,960) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,960) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,960) = ( 362 × 960 ) / 2
LCM(362,960) = 347520 / 2
LCM(362,960) = 173760
