Lets's calculate LCM of 879,849
3 | 879, 849 |
293, 283 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 293 x 283 = 248757
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/248757
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 643/879,874/849 is 1/248757
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 879,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,849) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,849) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(879,849) = ( 879 × 849 ) / 3
LCM(879,849) = 746271 / 3
LCM(879,849) = 248757
