Lets's calculate LCM of 684,120
2 | 684, 120 |
2 | 342, 60 |
3 | 171, 30 |
57, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 57 x 10 = 6840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4748/684,5602/120 is 2/6840
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 684,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(684,120) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(684,120) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(684,120) = ( 684 × 120 ) / 12
LCM(684,120) = 82080 / 12
LCM(684,120) = 6840
