So the greatest common factor 3879,1040 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 913,3540
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3232020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3232020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3879/913,1040/3540 is 1/3232020
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 913,3540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(913,3540) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(913,3540) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(913,3540) = ( 913 × 3540 ) / 1
LCM(913,3540) = 3232020 / 1
LCM(913,3540) = 3232020
