Lets's calculate LCM of 215,558
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/119970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3954/215,8340/558 is 6/119970
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 215,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(215,558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(215,558) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(215,558) = ( 215 × 558 ) / 1
LCM(215,558) = 119970 / 1
LCM(215,558) = 119970
