So the greatest common factor 5408,3776 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,119
17 | 493, 119 |
29, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 29 x 7 = 3451
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/3451
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5408/493,3776/119 is 32/3451
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 493,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,119) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,119) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(493,119) = ( 493 × 119 ) / 17
LCM(493,119) = 58667 / 17
LCM(493,119) = 3451
