Lets's calculate LCM of 340,9078
2 | 340, 9078 |
17 | 170, 4539 |
10, 267 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 10 x 267 = 90780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/90780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3959/340,5438/9078 is 1/90780
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 340,9078 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(340,9078) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(340,9078) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(340,9078) = ( 340 × 9078 ) / 34
LCM(340,9078) = 3086520 / 34
LCM(340,9078) = 90780
