So the greatest common factor 3138,9930 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,400
2 | 48, 400 |
2 | 24, 200 |
2 | 12, 100 |
2 | 6, 50 |
3, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 25 = 1200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3138/48,9930/400 is 6/1200
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 48,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,400) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,400) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(48,400) = ( 48 × 400 ) / 16
LCM(48,400) = 19200 / 16
LCM(48,400) = 1200
