We found the factors 915,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 915,960 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,4208
2 | 58, 4208 |
29, 2104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 2104 = 122032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/122032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 915/58,960/4208 is 15/122032
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 58,4208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,4208) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,4208) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,4208) = ( 58 × 4208 ) / 2
LCM(58,4208) = 244064 / 2
LCM(58,4208) = 122032
