Lets's calculate LCM of 303,840
3 | 303, 840 |
101, 280 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 101 x 280 = 84840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/84840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 499/303,3537/840 is 1/84840
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 303,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(303,840) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(303,840) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(303,840) = ( 303 × 840 ) / 3
LCM(303,840) = 254520 / 3
LCM(303,840) = 84840
