So the greatest common factor 902,1372 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 575,520
5 | 575, 520 |
115, 104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 115 x 104 = 59800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/59800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 902/575,1372/520 is 2/59800
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 575,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(575,520) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(575,520) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(575,520) = ( 575 × 520 ) / 5
LCM(575,520) = 299000 / 5
LCM(575,520) = 59800
