Lets's calculate LCM of 357,476
7 | 357, 476 |
17 | 51, 68 |
3, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 17 x 3 x 4 = 1428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 358/357,797/476 is 1/1428
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 357,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,476) = 119
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(357,476) x common factors =119 x 1 = 119
LCM(357,476) = ( 357 × 476 ) / 119
LCM(357,476) = 169932 / 119
LCM(357,476) = 1428
