Lets's calculate LCM of 879,7320
3 | 879, 7320 |
293, 2440 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 293 x 2440 = 2144760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/2144760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4734/879,2214/7320 is 18/2144760
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 879,7320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,7320) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,7320) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(879,7320) = ( 879 × 7320 ) / 3
LCM(879,7320) = 6434280 / 3
LCM(879,7320) = 2144760
