Lets's calculate LCM of 80,5786
2 | 80, 5786 |
40, 2893 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 40 x 2893 = 231440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/231440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/80,945/5786 is 3/231440
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 80,5786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(80,5786) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(80,5786) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(80,5786) = ( 80 × 5786 ) / 2
LCM(80,5786) = 462880 / 2
LCM(80,5786) = 231440
