Lets's calculate LCM of 472,3000
2 | 472, 3000 |
2 | 236, 1500 |
2 | 118, 750 |
59, 375 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 59 x 375 = 177000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/177000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 923/472,8970/3000 is 13/177000
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 472,3000 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,3000) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,3000) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(472,3000) = ( 472 × 3000 ) / 8
LCM(472,3000) = 1416000 / 8
LCM(472,3000) = 177000
