Lets's calculate LCM of 765,4885
5 | 765, 4885 |
153, 977 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 153 x 977 = 747405
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/747405
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3587/765,1700/4885 is 17/747405
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 765,4885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(765,4885) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(765,4885) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(765,4885) = ( 765 × 4885 ) / 5
LCM(765,4885) = 3737025 / 5
LCM(765,4885) = 747405
