Lets's calculate LCM of 956,840
2 | 956, 840 |
2 | 478, 420 |
239, 210 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 239 x 210 = 200760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8861/956,6585/840 is 1/200760
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 956,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,840) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,840) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(956,840) = ( 956 × 840 ) / 4
LCM(956,840) = 803040 / 4
LCM(956,840) = 200760
