Lets's calculate LCM of 744,480
2 | 744, 480 |
2 | 372, 240 |
2 | 186, 120 |
3 | 93, 60 |
31, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 31 x 20 = 14880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/14880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9204/744,3648/480 is 12/14880
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 744,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(744,480) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(744,480) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(744,480) = ( 744 × 480 ) / 24
LCM(744,480) = 357120 / 24
LCM(744,480) = 14880
