Lets's calculate LCM of 640,935
5 | 640, 935 |
128, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 128 x 187 = 119680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/119680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 627/640,968/935 is 11/119680
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 640,935 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,935) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,935) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(640,935) = ( 640 × 935 ) / 5
LCM(640,935) = 598400 / 5
LCM(640,935) = 119680
