Lets's calculate LCM of 540,3843
3 | 540, 3843 |
3 | 180, 1281 |
60, 427 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 60 x 427 = 230580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/230580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3422/540,8510/3843 is 2/230580
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 540,3843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,3843) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,3843) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(540,3843) = ( 540 × 3843 ) / 9
LCM(540,3843) = 2075220 / 9
LCM(540,3843) = 230580
