Lets's calculate LCM of 231,4161
3 | 231, 4161 |
77, 1387 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 77 x 1387 = 320397
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/320397
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4375/231,2372/4161 is 1/320397
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 231,4161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,4161) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,4161) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(231,4161) = ( 231 × 4161 ) / 3
LCM(231,4161) = 961191 / 3
LCM(231,4161) = 320397
