Lets's calculate LCM of 874,265
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/231610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1236/874,3633/265 is 3/231610
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 874,265 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,265) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,265) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(874,265) = ( 874 × 265 ) / 1
LCM(874,265) = 231610 / 1
LCM(874,265) = 231610
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
