So the greatest common factor 3908,7876 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,155
5 | 35, 155 |
7, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 31 = 1085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3908/35,7876/155 is 4/1085
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 35,155 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,155) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,155) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(35,155) = ( 35 × 155 ) / 5
LCM(35,155) = 5425 / 5
LCM(35,155) = 1085
