So the greatest common factor 120,996 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 477,369
3 | 477, 369 |
3 | 159, 123 |
53, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 53 x 41 = 19557
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/19557
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/477,996/369 is 12/19557
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 477,369 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(477,369) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(477,369) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(477,369) = ( 477 × 369 ) / 9
LCM(477,369) = 176013 / 9
LCM(477,369) = 19557
