Lets's calculate LCM of 279,360
3 | 279, 360 |
3 | 93, 120 |
31, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 31 x 40 = 11160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 971/279,4520/360 is 1/11160
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 279,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,360) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,360) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(279,360) = ( 279 × 360 ) / 9
LCM(279,360) = 100440 / 9
LCM(279,360) = 11160
