Lets's calculate LCM of 237,606
3 | 237, 606 |
79, 202 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 79 x 202 = 47874
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/47874
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3813/237,3117/606 is 3/47874
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 237,606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,606) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,606) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(237,606) = ( 237 × 606 ) / 3
LCM(237,606) = 143622 / 3
LCM(237,606) = 47874
