Lets's calculate LCM of 120,434
2 | 120, 434 |
60, 217 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 60 x 217 = 26040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 956/120,3326/434 is 2/26040
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 120,434 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(120,434) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(120,434) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(120,434) = ( 120 × 434 ) / 2
LCM(120,434) = 52080 / 2
LCM(120,434) = 26040
