So the greatest common factor 1012,3956 is 92.
Lets's calculate LCM of 357,1308
3 | 357, 1308 |
119, 436 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 119 x 436 = 155652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 92/155652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1012/357,3956/1308 is 92/155652
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 357,1308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,1308) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(357,1308) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(357,1308) = ( 357 × 1308 ) / 3
LCM(357,1308) = 466956 / 3
LCM(357,1308) = 155652
