So the greatest common factor 3759,1174 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,720
3 | 861, 720 |
287, 240 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 287 x 240 = 206640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/206640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3759/861,1174/720 is 1/206640
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 861,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,720) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,720) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(861,720) = ( 861 × 720 ) / 3
LCM(861,720) = 619920 / 3
LCM(861,720) = 206640
