Lets's calculate LCM of 990,372
2 | 990, 372 |
3 | 495, 186 |
165, 62 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 165 x 62 = 61380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/61380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9252/990,1548/372 is 36/61380
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 990,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(990,372) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(990,372) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(990,372) = ( 990 × 372 ) / 6
LCM(990,372) = 368280 / 6
LCM(990,372) = 61380
