So the greatest common factor 8628,5590 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 468,960
2 | 468, 960 |
2 | 234, 480 |
3 | 117, 240 |
39, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 39 x 80 = 37440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8628/468,5590/960 is 2/37440
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 468,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,960) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,960) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(468,960) = ( 468 × 960 ) / 12
LCM(468,960) = 449280 / 12
LCM(468,960) = 37440
