Lets's calculate LCM of 868,201
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/174468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 640/868,4175/201 is 5/174468
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 868,201 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(868,201) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(868,201) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(868,201) = ( 868 × 201 ) / 1
LCM(868,201) = 174468 / 1
LCM(868,201) = 174468
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
