Lets's calculate LCM of 504,3879
3 | 504, 3879 |
3 | 168, 1293 |
56, 431 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 56 x 431 = 217224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/217224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6488/504,4120/3879 is 8/217224
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 504,3879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,3879) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,3879) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(504,3879) = ( 504 × 3879 ) / 9
LCM(504,3879) = 1955016 / 9
LCM(504,3879) = 217224
