Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3204,8712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3204,8712 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 719,3855
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2771745
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/2771745
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3204/719,8712/3855 is 36/2771745
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 719,3855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(719,3855) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(719,3855) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(719,3855) = ( 719 × 3855 ) / 1
LCM(719,3855) = 2771745 / 1
LCM(719,3855) = 2771745
