Lets's calculate LCM of 290,215
5 | 290, 215 |
58, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 58 x 43 = 12470
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12470
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/290,873/215 is 1/12470
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 290,215 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(290,215) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(290,215) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(290,215) = ( 290 × 215 ) / 5
LCM(290,215) = 62350 / 5
LCM(290,215) = 12470
