Lets's calculate LCM of 974,6060
2 | 974, 6060 |
487, 3030 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 3030 = 2951220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 161/2951220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 966/974,5635/6060 is 161/2951220
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 974,6060 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,6060) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,6060) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,6060) = ( 974 × 6060 ) / 2
LCM(974,6060) = 5902440 / 2
LCM(974,6060) = 2951220
