Lets's calculate LCM of 875,519
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 454125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/454125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 232/875,2938/519 is 2/454125
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 875,519 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(875,519) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(875,519) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(875,519) = ( 875 × 519 ) / 1
LCM(875,519) = 454125 / 1
LCM(875,519) = 454125
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
