Lets's calculate LCM of 156,357
3 | 156, 357 |
52, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 52 x 119 = 18564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 286/156,595/357 is 1/18564
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 156,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,357) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(156,357) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(156,357) = ( 156 × 357 ) / 3
LCM(156,357) = 55692 / 3
LCM(156,357) = 18564
