Lets's calculate LCM of 970,208
2 | 970, 208 |
485, 104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 485 x 104 = 100880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3470/970,2836/208 is 2/100880
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 970,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,208) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(970,208) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(970,208) = ( 970 × 208 ) / 2
LCM(970,208) = 201760 / 2
LCM(970,208) = 100880
