Lets's calculate LCM of 60,3273
3 | 60, 3273 |
20, 1091 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 20 x 1091 = 65460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/65460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 588/60,888/3273 is 12/65460
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 60,3273 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,3273) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,3273) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(60,3273) = ( 60 × 3273 ) / 3
LCM(60,3273) = 196380 / 3
LCM(60,3273) = 65460
