Lets's calculate LCM of 718,3880
2 | 718, 3880 |
359, 1940 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 359 x 1940 = 1392920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1392920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8436/718,2306/3880 is 2/1392920
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 718,3880 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(718,3880) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(718,3880) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(718,3880) = ( 718 × 3880 ) / 2
LCM(718,3880) = 2785840 / 2
LCM(718,3880) = 1392920
