Lets's calculate LCM of 837,834
3 | 837, 834 |
279, 278 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 279 x 278 = 232686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/232686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3945/837,5344/834 is 1/232686
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 837,834 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,834) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,834) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(837,834) = ( 837 × 834 ) / 3
LCM(837,834) = 698058 / 3
LCM(837,834) = 232686
