So the greatest common factor 7215,1236 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,380
2 | 58, 380 |
29, 190 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 190 = 11020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7215/58,1236/380 is 3/11020
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 58,380 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,380) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,380) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,380) = ( 58 × 380 ) / 2
LCM(58,380) = 22040 / 2
LCM(58,380) = 11020
