Lets's calculate LCM of 660,9021
3 | 660, 9021 |
220, 3007 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 220 x 3007 = 1984620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1984620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8478/660,4238/9021 is 2/1984620
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 660,9021 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(660,9021) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(660,9021) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(660,9021) = ( 660 × 9021 ) / 3
LCM(660,9021) = 5953860 / 3
LCM(660,9021) = 1984620
