Lets's calculate LCM of 639,1875
3 | 639, 1875 |
213, 625 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 213 x 625 = 399375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/399375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3143/639,2232/1875 is 1/399375
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 639,1875 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(639,1875) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(639,1875) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(639,1875) = ( 639 × 1875 ) / 3
LCM(639,1875) = 1198125 / 3
LCM(639,1875) = 399375
