So the greatest common factor 44,99 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,9741
3 | 378, 9741 |
126, 3247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 126 x 3247 = 1227366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/1227366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/378,99/9741 is 11/1227366
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 378,9741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,9741) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,9741) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(378,9741) = ( 378 × 9741 ) / 3
LCM(378,9741) = 3682098 / 3
LCM(378,9741) = 1227366
