Lets's calculate LCM of 261,1308
| 3 | 261, 1308 |
| 87, 436 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 87 x 436 = 113796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/113796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3213/261,8904/1308 is 21/113796
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 261,1308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,1308) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,1308) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(261,1308) = ( 261 × 1308 ) / 3
LCM(261,1308) = 341388 / 3
LCM(261,1308) = 113796
