Lets's calculate LCM of 514,853
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 438442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/438442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7874/514,3434/853 is 2/438442
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 514,853 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,853) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,853) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(514,853) = ( 514 × 853 ) / 1
LCM(514,853) = 438442 / 1
LCM(514,853) = 438442
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
