So the greatest common factor 8048,2848 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,471
3 | 60, 471 |
20, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 20 x 157 = 9420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/9420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8048/60,2848/471 is 16/9420
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 60,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,471) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,471) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(60,471) = ( 60 × 471 ) / 3
LCM(60,471) = 28260 / 3
LCM(60,471) = 9420
