Lets's calculate LCM of 16,932
| 2 | 16, 932 |
| 2 | 8, 466 |
| 4, 233 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 4 x 233 = 3728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1403/16,3403/932 is 1/3728
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 16,932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,932) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,932) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(16,932) = ( 16 × 932 ) / 4
LCM(16,932) = 14912 / 4
LCM(16,932) = 3728
