Lets's calculate LCM of 655,3320
5 | 655, 3320 |
131, 664 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 131 x 664 = 434920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/434920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8940/655,5890/3320 is 10/434920
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 655,3320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(655,3320) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(655,3320) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(655,3320) = ( 655 × 3320 ) / 5
LCM(655,3320) = 2174600 / 5
LCM(655,3320) = 434920
