Lets's calculate LCM of 453,8556
3 | 453, 8556 |
151, 2852 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 151 x 2852 = 1291956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1291956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3018/453,4280/8556 is 2/1291956
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 453,8556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(453,8556) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(453,8556) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(453,8556) = ( 453 × 8556 ) / 3
LCM(453,8556) = 3875868 / 3
LCM(453,8556) = 1291956
