Lets's calculate LCM of 471,2355
3 | 471, 2355 |
157 | 157, 785 |
1, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 157 x 1 x 5 = 2355
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2355
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3177/471,7329/2355 is 3/2355
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 471,2355 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,2355) = 471
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,2355) x common factors =471 x 1 = 471
LCM(471,2355) = ( 471 × 2355 ) / 471
LCM(471,2355) = 1109205 / 471
LCM(471,2355) = 2355
