Lets's calculate LCM of 423,2355
3 | 423, 2355 |
141, 785 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 141 x 785 = 332055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/332055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4309/423,2972/2355 is 1/332055
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 423,2355 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,2355) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,2355) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(423,2355) = ( 423 × 2355 ) / 3
LCM(423,2355) = 996165 / 3
LCM(423,2355) = 332055
