Lets's calculate LCM of 681,420
3 | 681, 420 |
227, 140 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 227 x 140 = 95340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/95340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3996/681,5246/420 is 2/95340
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 681,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(681,420) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(681,420) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(681,420) = ( 681 × 420 ) / 3
LCM(681,420) = 286020 / 3
LCM(681,420) = 95340
