Lets's calculate LCM of 871,734
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 639314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/639314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 834/871,5896/734 is 2/639314
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 871,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(871,734) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(871,734) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(871,734) = ( 871 × 734 ) / 1
LCM(871,734) = 639314 / 1
LCM(871,734) = 639314
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
