Lets's calculate LCM of 186,6381
3 | 186, 6381 |
62, 2127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 62 x 2127 = 395622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/395622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3531/186,2543/6381 is 1/395622
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 186,6381 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,6381) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(186,6381) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(186,6381) = ( 186 × 6381 ) / 3
LCM(186,6381) = 1186866 / 3
LCM(186,6381) = 395622
