Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3260/842,5689/1170 is 1/492570
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 842,1170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,1170) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,1170) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(842,1170) = ( 842 × 1170 ) / 2
LCM(842,1170) = 985140 / 2
LCM(842,1170) = 492570
