Lets's calculate LCM of 429,957
3 | 429, 957 |
11 | 143, 319 |
13, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 13 x 29 = 12441
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 67/12441
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/429,536/957 is 67/12441
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 429,957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,957) = 33
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,957) x common factors =33 x 1 = 33
LCM(429,957) = ( 429 × 957 ) / 33
LCM(429,957) = 410553 / 33
LCM(429,957) = 12441
