So the greatest common factor 416,480 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,4956
2 | 42, 4956 |
3 | 21, 2478 |
7 | 7, 826 |
1, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 118 = 4956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/4956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 416/42,480/4956 is 32/4956
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 42,4956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,4956) = 42
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,4956) x common factors =42 x 1 = 42
LCM(42,4956) = ( 42 × 4956 ) / 42
LCM(42,4956) = 208152 / 42
LCM(42,4956) = 4956
