Lets's calculate LCM of 876,3817
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3343692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3343692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5672/876,3640/3817 is 8/3343692
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 876,3817 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,3817) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,3817) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(876,3817) = ( 876 × 3817 ) / 1
LCM(876,3817) = 3343692 / 1
LCM(876,3817) = 3343692
