Lets's calculate LCM of 993,4083
3 | 993, 4083 |
331, 1361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 331 x 1361 = 1351473
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1351473
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5318/993,1472/4083 is 2/1351473
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 993,4083 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,4083) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,4083) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(993,4083) = ( 993 × 4083 ) / 3
LCM(993,4083) = 4054419 / 3
LCM(993,4083) = 1351473
