Lets's calculate LCM of 877,6165
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5406705
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/5406705
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6940/877,3795/6165 is 5/5406705
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 877,6165 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,6165) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,6165) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,6165) = ( 877 × 6165 ) / 1
LCM(877,6165) = 5406705 / 1
LCM(877,6165) = 5406705
