Lets's calculate LCM of 447,741
3 | 447, 741 |
149, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 149 x 247 = 110409
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/110409
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4572/447,2616/741 is 12/110409
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 447,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(447,741) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(447,741) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(447,741) = ( 447 × 741 ) / 3
LCM(447,741) = 331227 / 3
LCM(447,741) = 110409
