Lets's calculate LCM of 878,635
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 557530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/557530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6996/878,6640/635 is 4/557530
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 878,635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,635) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,635) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(878,635) = ( 878 × 635 ) / 1
LCM(878,635) = 557530 / 1
LCM(878,635) = 557530
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
