Lets's calculate LCM of 957,534
3 | 957, 534 |
319, 178 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 319 x 178 = 170346
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 280/170346
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3640/957,8680/534 is 280/170346
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 957,534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,534) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,534) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(957,534) = ( 957 × 534 ) / 3
LCM(957,534) = 511038 / 3
LCM(957,534) = 170346
