Lets's calculate LCM of 985,4195
5 | 985, 4195 |
197, 839 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 197 x 839 = 826415
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/826415
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/985,1731/4195 is 1/826415
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 985,4195 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,4195) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,4195) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(985,4195) = ( 985 × 4195 ) / 5
LCM(985,4195) = 4132075 / 5
LCM(985,4195) = 826415
