So the greatest common factor 960,1880 is 40.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,3181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1364649
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 40/1364649
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 960/429,1880/3181 is 40/1364649
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 429,3181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,3181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,3181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,3181) = ( 429 × 3181 ) / 1
LCM(429,3181) = 1364649 / 1
LCM(429,3181) = 1364649
