So the greatest common factor 5164,2990 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,960
2 | 68, 960 |
2 | 34, 480 |
17, 240 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 17 x 240 = 16320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5164/68,2990/960 is 2/16320
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 68,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,960) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,960) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(68,960) = ( 68 × 960 ) / 4
LCM(68,960) = 65280 / 4
LCM(68,960) = 16320
