Lets's calculate LCM of 190,380
2 | 190, 380 |
5 | 95, 190 |
19 | 19, 38 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 19 x 1 x 2 = 380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8397/190,5217/380 is 3/380
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 190,380 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(190,380) = 190
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(190,380) x common factors =190 x 1 = 190
LCM(190,380) = ( 190 × 380 ) / 190
LCM(190,380) = 72200 / 190
LCM(190,380) = 380
