Lets's calculate LCM of 616,839
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 516824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/516824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2638/616,3782/839 is 2/516824
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 616,839 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(616,839) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(616,839) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(616,839) = ( 616 × 839 ) / 1
LCM(616,839) = 516824 / 1
LCM(616,839) = 516824
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
