Lets's calculate LCM of 60,108
2 | 60, 108 |
2 | 30, 54 |
3 | 15, 27 |
5, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 9 = 540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 333/60,8748/108 is 9/540
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 60,108 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,108) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,108) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(60,108) = ( 60 × 108 ) / 12
LCM(60,108) = 6480 / 12
LCM(60,108) = 540
