So the greatest common factor 3208,2384 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 931,987
7 | 931, 987 |
133, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 133 x 141 = 131271
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/131271
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3208/931,2384/987 is 8/131271
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 931,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(931,987) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(931,987) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(931,987) = ( 931 × 987 ) / 7
LCM(931,987) = 918897 / 7
LCM(931,987) = 131271
