So the greatest common factor 3608,1683 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,375
| 5 | 40, 375 |
| 8, 75 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 8 x 75 = 3000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/3000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3608/40,1683/375 is 11/3000
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 40,375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,375) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,375) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(40,375) = ( 40 × 375 ) / 5
LCM(40,375) = 15000 / 5
LCM(40,375) = 3000
