Lets's calculate LCM of 957,381
3 | 957, 381 |
319, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 319 x 127 = 121539
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/121539
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1604/957,3524/381 is 4/121539
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 957,381 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,381) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,381) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(957,381) = ( 957 × 381 ) / 3
LCM(957,381) = 364617 / 3
LCM(957,381) = 121539
