So the greatest common factor 575,2990 is 115.
Lets's calculate LCM of 398,780
2 | 398, 780 |
199, 390 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 199 x 390 = 155220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 115/155220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 575/398,2990/780 is 115/155220
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 398,780 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,780) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,780) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(398,780) = ( 398 × 780 ) / 2
LCM(398,780) = 310440 / 2
LCM(398,780) = 155220
