Lets's calculate LCM of 380,867
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 329460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/329460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3972/380,6026/867 is 2/329460
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 380,867 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(380,867) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(380,867) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(380,867) = ( 380 × 867 ) / 1
LCM(380,867) = 329460 / 1
LCM(380,867) = 329460
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
