So the greatest common factor 900,843 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,1180
2 | 86, 1180 |
43, 590 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 590 = 50740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/50740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/86,843/1180 is 3/50740
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 86,1180 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,1180) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,1180) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,1180) = ( 86 × 1180 ) / 2
LCM(86,1180) = 101480 / 2
LCM(86,1180) = 50740
