Lets's calculate LCM of 637,441
7 | 637, 441 |
7 | 91, 63 |
13, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 7 x 13 x 9 = 5733
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5733
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/637,3264/441 is 3/5733
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 637,441 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(637,441) = 49
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(637,441) x common factors =49 x 1 = 49
LCM(637,441) = ( 637 × 441 ) / 49
LCM(637,441) = 280917 / 49
LCM(637,441) = 5733
