So the greatest common factor 280,9018 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 608,260
2 | 608, 260 |
2 | 304, 130 |
152, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 152 x 65 = 39520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/39520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/608,9018/260 is 2/39520
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 608,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(608,260) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(608,260) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(608,260) = ( 608 × 260 ) / 4
LCM(608,260) = 158080 / 4
LCM(608,260) = 39520
