So the greatest common factor 3444,1142 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 573,369
3 | 573, 369 |
191, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 191 x 123 = 70479
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70479
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3444/573,1142/369 is 2/70479
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 573,369 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(573,369) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(573,369) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(573,369) = ( 573 × 369 ) / 3
LCM(573,369) = 211437 / 3
LCM(573,369) = 70479
