Lets's calculate LCM of 147,3283
7 | 147, 3283 |
7 | 21, 469 |
3, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 7 x 3 x 67 = 9849
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/9849
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3976/147,6788/3283 is 4/9849
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 147,3283 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,3283) = 49
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,3283) x common factors =49 x 1 = 49
LCM(147,3283) = ( 147 × 3283 ) / 49
LCM(147,3283) = 482601 / 49
LCM(147,3283) = 9849
