So the greatest common factor 960,3596 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 735,618
3 | 735, 618 |
245, 206 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 245 x 206 = 151410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/151410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 960/735,3596/618 is 4/151410
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 735,618 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,618) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,618) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(735,618) = ( 735 × 618 ) / 3
LCM(735,618) = 454230 / 3
LCM(735,618) = 151410
