Lets's calculate LCM of 405,4326
3 | 405, 4326 |
135, 1442 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 135 x 1442 = 584010
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/584010
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3996/405,3246/4326 is 6/584010
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 405,4326 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(405,4326) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(405,4326) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(405,4326) = ( 405 × 4326 ) / 3
LCM(405,4326) = 1752030 / 3
LCM(405,4326) = 584010
