Lets's calculate LCM of 2580,5337
3 | 2580, 5337 |
860, 1779 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 860 x 1779 = 4589820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/4589820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/2580,368/5337 is 16/4589820
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 2580,5337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2580,5337) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2580,5337) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(2580,5337) = ( 2580 × 5337 ) / 3
LCM(2580,5337) = 13769460 / 3
LCM(2580,5337) = 4589820
