Lets's calculate LCM of 480,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 267360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/267360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 444/480,2655/557 is 3/267360
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 480,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(480,557) = ( 480 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(480,557) = 267360 / 1
LCM(480,557) = 267360
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
