Lets's calculate LCM of 802,5730
2 | 802, 5730 |
401, 2865 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 2865 = 2297730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2297730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1218/802,1476/5730 is 6/2297730
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 802,5730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,5730) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,5730) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(802,5730) = ( 802 × 5730 ) / 2
LCM(802,5730) = 4595460 / 2
LCM(802,5730) = 2297730
