So the greatest common factor 3084,5740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,850
2 | 32, 850 |
16, 425 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 16 x 425 = 13600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/13600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3084/32,5740/850 is 4/13600
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 32,850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,850) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,850) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(32,850) = ( 32 × 850 ) / 2
LCM(32,850) = 27200 / 2
LCM(32,850) = 13600
