So the greatest common factor 274,436 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 537,957
3 | 537, 957 |
179, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 179 x 319 = 171303
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/171303
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 274/537,436/957 is 2/171303
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 537,957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,957) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,957) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(537,957) = ( 537 × 957 ) / 3
LCM(537,957) = 513909 / 3
LCM(537,957) = 171303
