Lets's calculate LCM of 387,674
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 260838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/260838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3542/387,7764/674 is 2/260838
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 387,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,674) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,674) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,674) = ( 387 × 674 ) / 1
LCM(387,674) = 260838 / 1
LCM(387,674) = 260838
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
