Lets's calculate LCM of 318,4533
3 | 318, 4533 |
106, 1511 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 106 x 1511 = 480498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/480498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1038/318,4512/4533 is 6/480498
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 318,4533 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,4533) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,4533) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(318,4533) = ( 318 × 4533 ) / 3
LCM(318,4533) = 1441494 / 3
LCM(318,4533) = 480498
