Lets's calculate LCM of 363,996
3 | 363, 996 |
121, 332 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 121 x 332 = 120516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/120516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/363,3424/996 is 32/120516
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 363,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(363,996) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(363,996) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(363,996) = ( 363 × 996 ) / 3
LCM(363,996) = 361548 / 3
LCM(363,996) = 120516
