Lets's calculate LCM of 476,9324
2 | 476, 9324 |
2 | 238, 4662 |
7 | 119, 2331 |
17, 333 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 17 x 333 = 158508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/158508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2871/476,1295/9324 is 1/158508
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 476,9324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(476,9324) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(476,9324) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(476,9324) = ( 476 × 9324 ) / 28
LCM(476,9324) = 4438224 / 28
LCM(476,9324) = 158508
