Lets's calculate LCM of 717,1878
3 | 717, 1878 |
239, 626 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 239 x 626 = 448842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/448842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/717,3905/1878 is 11/448842
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 717,1878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(717,1878) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(717,1878) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(717,1878) = ( 717 × 1878 ) / 3
LCM(717,1878) = 1346526 / 3
LCM(717,1878) = 448842
