Lets's calculate LCM of 295,4680
5 | 295, 4680 |
59, 936 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 59 x 936 = 276120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/276120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9987/295,2376/4680 is 3/276120
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 295,4680 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,4680) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,4680) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(295,4680) = ( 295 × 4680 ) / 5
LCM(295,4680) = 1380600 / 5
LCM(295,4680) = 276120
