So the greatest common factor 840,372 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 385,865
5 | 385, 865 |
77, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 77 x 173 = 66605
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/66605
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/385,372/865 is 12/66605
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 385,865 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(385,865) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(385,865) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(385,865) = ( 385 × 865 ) / 5
LCM(385,865) = 333025 / 5
LCM(385,865) = 66605
