Lets's calculate LCM of 750,2787
3 | 750, 2787 |
250, 929 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 250 x 929 = 696750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/696750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2840/750,2596/2787 is 4/696750
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 750,2787 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(750,2787) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(750,2787) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(750,2787) = ( 750 × 2787 ) / 3
LCM(750,2787) = 2090250 / 3
LCM(750,2787) = 696750
