Lets's calculate LCM of 290,3159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 916110
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/916110
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8688/290,3561/3159 is 3/916110
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 290,3159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(290,3159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(290,3159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(290,3159) = ( 290 × 3159 ) / 1
LCM(290,3159) = 916110 / 1
LCM(290,3159) = 916110
