Lets's calculate LCM of 435,440
5 | 435, 440 |
87, 88 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 87 x 88 = 38280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 658/435,5942/440 is 2/38280
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 435,440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,440) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,440) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(435,440) = ( 435 × 440 ) / 5
LCM(435,440) = 191400 / 5
LCM(435,440) = 38280
