Lets's calculate LCM of 423,785
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 332055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/332055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4185/423,2965/785 is 5/332055
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 423,785 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,785) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,785) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(423,785) = ( 423 × 785 ) / 1
LCM(423,785) = 332055 / 1
LCM(423,785) = 332055
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
