Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2691
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3629/117,4587/897 is 1/2691
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 117,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(117,897) = 39
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(117,897) x common factors =39 x 1 = 39
LCM(117,897) = ( 117 × 897 ) / 39
LCM(117,897) = 104949 / 39
LCM(117,897) = 2691
