Lets's calculate LCM of 337,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/181306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 876/337,3440/538 is 4/181306
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 337,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(337,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(337,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(337,538) = ( 337 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(337,538) = 181306 / 1
LCM(337,538) = 181306
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
