So the greatest common factor 4072,2370 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 615,372
3 | 615, 372 |
205, 124 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 205 x 124 = 76260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/76260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4072/615,2370/372 is 2/76260
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 615,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(615,372) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(615,372) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(615,372) = ( 615 × 372 ) / 3
LCM(615,372) = 228780 / 3
LCM(615,372) = 76260
