Lets's calculate LCM of 420,4480
2 | 420, 4480 |
2 | 210, 2240 |
5 | 105, 1120 |
7 | 21, 224 |
3, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 3 x 32 = 13440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/13440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/420,1190/4480 is 34/13440
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 420,4480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,4480) = 140
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(420,4480) x common factors =140 x 1 = 140
LCM(420,4480) = ( 420 × 4480 ) / 140
LCM(420,4480) = 1881600 / 140
LCM(420,4480) = 13440
