Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3994,9757 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3994,9757 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,360
2 | 48, 360 |
2 | 24, 180 |
2 | 12, 90 |
3 | 6, 45 |
2, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 15 = 720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3994/48,9757/360 is 1/720
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 48,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,360) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,360) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(48,360) = ( 48 × 360 ) / 24
LCM(48,360) = 17280 / 24
LCM(48,360) = 720
