Lets's calculate LCM of 957,5142
3 | 957, 5142 |
319, 1714 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 319 x 1714 = 1640298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1640298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2367/957,1581/5142 is 3/1640298
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 957,5142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,5142) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,5142) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(957,5142) = ( 957 × 5142 ) / 3
LCM(957,5142) = 4920894 / 3
LCM(957,5142) = 1640298
