Lets's calculate LCM of 870,3736
2 | 870, 3736 |
435, 1868 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 435 x 1868 = 1625160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1625160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3592/870,9879/3736 is 1/1625160
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 870,3736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(870,3736) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(870,3736) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(870,3736) = ( 870 × 3736 ) / 2
LCM(870,3736) = 3250320 / 2
LCM(870,3736) = 1625160
