Lets's calculate LCM of 388,6140
2 | 388, 6140 |
2 | 194, 3070 |
97, 1535 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 97 x 1535 = 595580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/595580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1812/388,6237/6140 is 3/595580
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 388,6140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,6140) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(388,6140) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(388,6140) = ( 388 × 6140 ) / 4
LCM(388,6140) = 2382320 / 4
LCM(388,6140) = 595580
