Lets's calculate LCM of 819,2820
3 | 819, 2820 |
273, 940 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 273 x 940 = 769860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/769860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5840/819,8372/2820 is 4/769860
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 819,2820 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(819,2820) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(819,2820) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(819,2820) = ( 819 × 2820 ) / 3
LCM(819,2820) = 2309580 / 3
LCM(819,2820) = 769860
