Lets's calculate LCM of 387,580
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/224460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3140/387,2326/580 is 2/224460
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 387,580 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,580) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,580) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,580) = ( 387 × 580 ) / 1
LCM(387,580) = 224460 / 1
LCM(387,580) = 224460
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
