Lets's calculate LCM of 947,840
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 795480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/795480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/947,3252/840 is 3/795480
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 947,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(947,840) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(947,840) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(947,840) = ( 947 × 840 ) / 1
LCM(947,840) = 795480 / 1
LCM(947,840) = 795480
