Lets's calculate LCM of 868,8606
2 | 868, 8606 |
434, 4303 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 434 x 4303 = 3735004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3735004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1468/868,3520/8606 is 4/3735004
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 868,8606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(868,8606) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(868,8606) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(868,8606) = ( 868 × 8606 ) / 2
LCM(868,8606) = 7470008 / 2
LCM(868,8606) = 3735004
