Lets's calculate LCM of 393,7440
3 | 393, 7440 |
131, 2480 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 131 x 2480 = 974640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 57/974640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2964/393,4503/7440 is 57/974640
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 393,7440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(393,7440) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(393,7440) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(393,7440) = ( 393 × 7440 ) / 3
LCM(393,7440) = 2923920 / 3
LCM(393,7440) = 974640
