So the greatest common factor 3940,2620 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 965,4265
5 | 965, 4265 |
193, 853 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 193 x 853 = 823145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/823145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3940/965,2620/4265 is 20/823145
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 965,4265 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(965,4265) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(965,4265) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(965,4265) = ( 965 × 4265 ) / 5
LCM(965,4265) = 4115725 / 5
LCM(965,4265) = 823145
