Lets's calculate LCM of 369,2796
3 | 369, 2796 |
123, 932 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 123 x 932 = 343908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/343908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4938/369,1520/2796 is 2/343908
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 369,2796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(369,2796) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(369,2796) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(369,2796) = ( 369 × 2796 ) / 3
LCM(369,2796) = 1031724 / 3
LCM(369,2796) = 343908
