So the greatest common factor 2832,1559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,3460
2 | 378, 3460 |
189, 1730 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 189 x 1730 = 653940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/653940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2832/378,1559/3460 is 1/653940
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 378,3460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,3460) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,3460) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(378,3460) = ( 378 × 3460 ) / 2
LCM(378,3460) = 1307880 / 2
LCM(378,3460) = 653940
