Lets's calculate LCM of 84,468
| 2 | 84, 468 |
| 2 | 42, 234 |
| 3 | 21, 117 |
| 7, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 39 = 3276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4971/84,8013/468 is 3/3276
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 84,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,468) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,468) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(84,468) = ( 84 × 468 ) / 12
LCM(84,468) = 39312 / 12
LCM(84,468) = 3276
