Lets's calculate LCM of 912,960
2 | 912, 960 |
2 | 456, 480 |
2 | 228, 240 |
2 | 114, 120 |
3 | 57, 60 |
19, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 20 = 18240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6461/912,3599/960 is 1/18240
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 912,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(912,960) = 48
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(912,960) x common factors =48 x 1 = 48
LCM(912,960) = ( 912 × 960 ) / 48
LCM(912,960) = 875520 / 48
LCM(912,960) = 18240
