Lets's calculate LCM of 974,6420
2 | 974, 6420 |
487, 3210 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 3210 = 3126540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3126540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2875/974,3752/6420 is 1/3126540
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 974,6420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,6420) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,6420) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,6420) = ( 974 × 6420 ) / 2
LCM(974,6420) = 6253080 / 2
LCM(974,6420) = 3126540
