Lets's calculate LCM of 535,3510
5 | 535, 3510 |
107, 702 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 107 x 702 = 375570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/375570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1218/535,5704/3510 is 2/375570
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 535,3510 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(535,3510) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(535,3510) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(535,3510) = ( 535 × 3510 ) / 5
LCM(535,3510) = 1877850 / 5
LCM(535,3510) = 375570
