Lets's calculate LCM of 320,960
2 | 320, 960 |
2 | 160, 480 |
2 | 80, 240 |
2 | 40, 120 |
2 | 20, 60 |
2 | 10, 30 |
5 | 5, 15 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 3 = 960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 953/320,8497/960 is 1/960
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 320,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(320,960) = 320
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(320,960) x common factors =320 x 1 = 320
LCM(320,960) = ( 320 × 960 ) / 320
LCM(320,960) = 307200 / 320
LCM(320,960) = 960
