Lets's calculate LCM of 72,330
2 | 72, 330 |
3 | 36, 165 |
12, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 12 x 55 = 3960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 924/72,9948/330 is 12/3960
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 72,330 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,330) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,330) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(72,330) = ( 72 × 330 ) / 6
LCM(72,330) = 23760 / 6
LCM(72,330) = 3960
