Lets's calculate LCM of 429,5137
11 | 429, 5137 |
39, 467 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 39 x 467 = 200343
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200343
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3472/429,2803/5137 is 1/200343
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 429,5137 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,5137) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,5137) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(429,5137) = ( 429 × 5137 ) / 11
LCM(429,5137) = 2203773 / 11
LCM(429,5137) = 200343
