Lets's calculate LCM of 685,7930
5 | 685, 7930 |
137, 1586 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 137 x 1586 = 1086410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1086410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3159/685,3072/7930 is 3/1086410
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 685,7930 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(685,7930) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(685,7930) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(685,7930) = ( 685 × 7930 ) / 5
LCM(685,7930) = 5432050 / 5
LCM(685,7930) = 1086410
