Lets's calculate LCM of 880,3546
2 | 880, 3546 |
440, 1773 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 440 x 1773 = 1560240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1560240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3731/880,4995/3546 is 1/1560240
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 880,3546 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(880,3546) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(880,3546) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(880,3546) = ( 880 × 3546 ) / 2
LCM(880,3546) = 3120480 / 2
LCM(880,3546) = 1560240
