Lets's calculate LCM of 64,440
2 | 64, 440 |
2 | 32, 220 |
2 | 16, 110 |
8, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 8 x 55 = 3520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/64,857/440 is 1/3520
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 64,440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,440) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,440) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(64,440) = ( 64 × 440 ) / 8
LCM(64,440) = 28160 / 8
LCM(64,440) = 3520
