Lets's calculate LCM of 200,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/188600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3704/200,6948/943 is 4/188600
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 200,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(200,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(200,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(200,943) = ( 200 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(200,943) = 188600 / 1
LCM(200,943) = 188600
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
