Lets's calculate LCM of 440,1560
2 | 440, 1560 |
2 | 220, 780 |
2 | 110, 390 |
5 | 55, 195 |
11, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 11 x 39 = 17160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3997/440,3309/1560 is 1/17160
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 440,1560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,1560) = 40
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,1560) x common factors =40 x 1 = 40
LCM(440,1560) = ( 440 × 1560 ) / 40
LCM(440,1560) = 686400 / 40
LCM(440,1560) = 17160
