So the greatest common factor 940,240 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 270,462
2 | 270, 462 |
3 | 135, 231 |
45, 77 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 45 x 77 = 20790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/20790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 940/270,240/462 is 20/20790
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 270,462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(270,462) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(270,462) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(270,462) = ( 270 × 462 ) / 6
LCM(270,462) = 124740 / 6
LCM(270,462) = 20790
