Lets's calculate LCM of 687,341
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 234267
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/234267
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/687,3585/341 is 5/234267
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 687,341 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,341) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,341) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(687,341) = ( 687 × 341 ) / 1
LCM(687,341) = 234267 / 1
LCM(687,341) = 234267
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
