Lets's calculate LCM of 905,217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 196385
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 83/196385
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3486/905,7885/217 is 83/196385
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 905,217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(905,217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(905,217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(905,217) = ( 905 × 217 ) / 1
LCM(905,217) = 196385 / 1
LCM(905,217) = 196385
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
