Lets's calculate LCM of 540,948
2 | 540, 948 |
2 | 270, 474 |
3 | 135, 237 |
45, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 45 x 79 = 42660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/540,6778/948 is 2/42660
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 540,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,948) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,948) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(540,948) = ( 540 × 948 ) / 12
LCM(540,948) = 511920 / 12
LCM(540,948) = 42660
