So the greatest common factor 3408,1253 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 981,147
3 | 981, 147 |
327, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 327 x 49 = 48069
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48069
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3408/981,1253/147 is 1/48069
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 981,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(981,147) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(981,147) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(981,147) = ( 981 × 147 ) / 3
LCM(981,147) = 144207 / 3
LCM(981,147) = 48069
