Lets's calculate LCM of 360,1170
2 | 360, 1170 |
3 | 180, 585 |
3 | 60, 195 |
5 | 20, 65 |
4, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 4 x 13 = 4680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 58/4680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9512/360,2842/1170 is 58/4680
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 360,1170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(360,1170) = 90
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(360,1170) x common factors =90 x 1 = 90
LCM(360,1170) = ( 360 × 1170 ) / 90
LCM(360,1170) = 421200 / 90
LCM(360,1170) = 4680
