Lets's calculate LCM of 4880,3448
2 | 4880, 3448 |
2 | 2440, 1724 |
2 | 1220, 862 |
610, 431 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 610 x 431 = 2103280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2103280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/4880,774/3448 is 6/2103280
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 4880,3448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4880,3448) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4880,3448) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(4880,3448) = ( 4880 × 3448 ) / 8
LCM(4880,3448) = 16826240 / 8
LCM(4880,3448) = 2103280
