So the greatest common factor 2436,3218 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 660,750
2 | 660, 750 |
3 | 330, 375 |
5 | 110, 125 |
22, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 22 x 25 = 16500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2436/660,3218/750 is 2/16500
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 660,750 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(660,750) = 30
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(660,750) x common factors =30 x 1 = 30
LCM(660,750) = ( 660 × 750 ) / 30
LCM(660,750) = 495000 / 30
LCM(660,750) = 16500
