Lets's calculate LCM of 429,978
3 | 429, 978 |
143, 326 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 143 x 326 = 139854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/139854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2333/429,3874/978 is 1/139854
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 429,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,978) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,978) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(429,978) = ( 429 × 978 ) / 3
LCM(429,978) = 419562 / 3
LCM(429,978) = 139854
