Lets's calculate LCM of 280,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/111160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5226/280,3945/397 is 3/111160
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 280,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(280,397) = ( 280 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(280,397) = 111160 / 1
LCM(280,397) = 111160
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
