So the greatest common factor 306,340 is 34.
Lets's calculate LCM of 483,297
3 | 483, 297 |
161, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 161 x 99 = 47817
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/47817
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 306/483,340/297 is 34/47817
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 483,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(483,297) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(483,297) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(483,297) = ( 483 × 297 ) / 3
LCM(483,297) = 143451 / 3
LCM(483,297) = 47817
