Lets's calculate LCM of 871,3420
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2978820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2978820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2403/871,6969/3420 is 3/2978820
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 871,3420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,3420) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,3420) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,3420) = ( 871 × 3420 ) / 1
LCM(871,3420) = 2978820 / 1
LCM(871,3420) = 2978820
