Lets's calculate LCM of 270,379
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/102330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7542/270,9952/379 is 2/102330
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 270,379 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(270,379) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(270,379) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(270,379) = ( 270 × 379 ) / 1
LCM(270,379) = 102330 / 1
LCM(270,379) = 102330
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
