Lets's calculate LCM of 473,693
11 | 473, 693 |
43, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 43 x 63 = 29799
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29799
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 317/473,738/693 is 1/29799
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 473,693 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,693) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,693) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(473,693) = ( 473 × 693 ) / 11
LCM(473,693) = 327789 / 11
LCM(473,693) = 29799
